Abstract
We performed spectroscopy of globular clusters associated with NGC 1399 and measured radial velocities of more than 400 clusters, the largest sample ever obtained for dynamical studies. In this progress report, we present the sample and the first preliminary results. Red and blue clusters have slightly different velocity dispersions in accordance with their different density profiles. Their velocity dispersions remain constant with radial distance, which differs from earlier work.
