Radial-velocity and photometric observations of eclipsing binaries allow one to estimate the masses of the stars in such systems, their relative brightnesses and sizes. If polarization variations are detected throughout the binary period, one may confirm the inclination of the system. All three types of information are available for V444 Cygni and CQ Cephei, see Underhill, Yang, and Hill (1988a,b), Underhill, Gilroy, and Hill (1990), and the references quoted in those papers.
