The bright stars of five LMC clusters were classified for deriving the distribution of various spectral types. The studied clusters are very young (NGC 2093) young (NGC 1818, NGC 2157) intermediate (NGC 1831) and old (NGC 1806) (Van den Bergh 1981). The spectral classification of the stars was carried out using film copies of the 1.2 m Schmidt telescope objective prism plates. Medium dispersion (830 Å at Hγ) unwidened YJ and widened UJ and low dispersion (2440 Å at Hγ) UJ were examined by means of a binocular microscope. Details of the criteria used for the classification are described by Kontizas et al (1985).
