Abstract:
   The results of optical spectroscopy are presented for the optical 
   counterparts of 14 radio sources from the 1 Jy, S4, and S5 radio source 
   catalogues. New redshifts are given for eight sources, three uncertain 
   redshifts have been clarified and the redshifts of two sources were 
   confirmed. The remaining source was confirmed as a BL Lac object showing 
   only a featureless spectrum. Additional direct imaging data are provided 
   for three sources.
