  In view of the forthcoming results on $W^{\pm}$ pair production at LEP~2, we
emphasize that {\em direct empirical evidence} on non-trivial properties of the
weak vector bosons can be obtained with relatively limited integrated
luminosity. An integrated luminosity of $10\;\mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ at
$\sqrt{s}=175$ GeV will be sufficient to provide direct experimental evidence
for non-vanishing self-couplings of non-Abelian type among the weak vector
bosons. An integrated luminosity of $100\;\mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=175$
GeV will provide direct evidence for the existence of an anomalous magnetic
dipole moment of the charged vector bosons $W^{\pm}$.
