Although pulsations in EHes appear to be ubiquitous, it is not possible to summarize their properties with a single definition. ... The first discovery of pulsation in an EHe was made by Landolt (1975), who discovered a 0.1day photometric period in V652Her, and by Hill et al. (1981), who measured the radial velocity curve and demonstrated the variations were due to radial pulsation. ... 1987, Jeffery et al. ...
