Abstract
A numerical procedure is devised to find binary collision orbits in th e free-fall three-body problem. Applying this procedure, families of b inary collision orbits are found and a sequence of triple collision or bits are positioned. A property of sets of binary collision orbits whi ch is convenient to search triple collision orbits is found. Important numerical results are formulated and summarized in the final section.
