Caption: Figure 12.

Separation between the θ 1 Ori B 2 and B 3 components. Note the surprising lack of any significant relative motion (−0.04 ± 0.14 mas yr −1). The rms scatter from a constant value is only 0.14 mas yr −1. There appears to be very little change in the separation of the B 2 B 3 system. The epochs of the data are the same as in Figure 10.
