Abstract:
   We present rotation curves and velocity dispersion profiles at several 
   position angles for 9 ellipticals and 5 early type disk systems. A 
   kinematically decoupled inner component is detected in NGC 1374. Central 
   velocity dispersions are provided for other 3 early-type galaxies.
