Abstract

We describe some preliminary results from spatially-resolved spectroscopy of the compact ejection knots B and D in the Eta Carinae wind. We emphasize various line diagnostics of the abundances, kinematics and physical conditions. The data are from new STIS-HST observations described by Gull et al. elsewhere in this volume.
