Measurement of the W Mass and Width in e+e- Collisions at 183 GeV              
  
Using a data sample of 57 pb-1 recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV  
with the Opal detector at LEP, 282 W+W- -> qqqq and 300 W+W- -> qqlnu          
candidate events are used to obtain a measurement of the mass of the W boson,  
W_W = 80.39 +- 0.13(stat.) +- 0.05(syst.) GeV assuming the Standard Model      
relation between M_W and Gam_W. A second fit provides a direct measure of      
the width of the W boson and gives Gam_W = 1.96 +- 0.34(stat.) +- 0.20(syst.)  
GeV. These results are combined with previous OPAL results to obtain           
M_W  = 80.38 +- 0.12(stat.) +- 0.05(syst.) GeV and                             
Gam_W = 1.84 +- 0.32(stat.) +- 0.20(syst.) GeV.
