The early-type supergiants of the Magellanic Clouds (MC's) include a class of objects, the B[e] -supergiants, which are described in detail in Zickgraf et al. (1985, 1986) who suggested a two-component wind model consisting of a cool, dense and slowly expanding disk-like equatorial wind component and a hot line-driven fast polar wind. This model could explain many properties of most of the B[e] -supergiants as e. g. the occurrence of “shell” absorption lines. R 4 of the SMC, however, although well fitting to the general scheme of B[e) -supergiants exhibits several pecularities of its line spectrum, which make this particular star an exceptional case among the B[e] -supergiants of the MC's.
