An experiment was performed to measure the shape of the sodium resonance doublet ( lambda 5890, lambda 5896) in a high-temperature helium atmosphere. A piston compressor was used to produce temperatures in the range 3000K to 5500K. Absorption line widths and shifts are reported and the widths agree well with calculations.
