We present results from a search for anomalous WW and WZ production in pp̅ collisions at sqrt[s]  =  1.8  TeV. We used pp̅ →eνjjX events observed during the 1992–1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 13.7±0.7 pb-1. A fit to the transverse momentum spectrum of the W boson yields direct limits on the CP-conserving anomalous WWγ and WWZ coupling parameters of -0.9<Δκ<1.1 (with λ  =  0) and -0.6<λ<0.7 (with Δκ  =  0) at the 95% confidence level, for a form factor scale Λ  =  1.5  TeV, assuming that the WWγ and WWZ coupling parameters are equal.
