Velocities have been measured for 74 CH stars in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). These have been used to study the kinematics of the oldest stellar population. Velocities of these objects appear to reflect two distinct subgroups - one associated with the old globular cluster population and a second with the LMC disk.
