We investigate the relation between the Doppler factor determined from
variations in total flux at 22 and 37 GHz, and the apparent transverse velocity
determined from VLBA observations at 2 cm. The data are consistent with the
relativistic beaming theory for compact radio sources, in that the distribution
of beta_{app}/delta_{var}, for 30 quasars, is roughly consistent with a Monte
Carlo simulation. The intrinsic temperature appears to be ~2x10^{10} K, close
to the "equipartition value" calculated by Readhead (1994). We deduce the
distribution of Lorentz factors for a group of 48 sources; the values range up
to about gamma=40.Comment: To be published in "Radio Astronomy at the Fringe", ASP Conf. Ser.
