Description
We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the cataclysmic
variable S193. The emission lines are remarkably similar to those of
V795 Her and exhibit high-velocity S-waves and complex absorptions that
are modulated with the orbital period. Evidence for transient anomalous
spectral features is seen during the first two nights of our run. We
propose that S193 and V795 Her are non-eclipsing SW Sex stars. Finally,
we show that the `disc overflow' model fails to explain the Balmer line
orbital behaviour in these low-inclination systems.
