We present a summary of a new time-dependent Spectroscopic analysis of the pulsating helium star V652 Her. The instantaneous properties of the star (effective temperature, surface gravity, radial displacement, etc.) are evaluated throughout the pulsation cycle. The data are used to establish measurements of the mean stellar radius and mass more accurately than hitherto. The first direct evidence of a supersonic shock at minimum radius is also obtained.
