Scientific paper

The magnetic cataclysmic variable stars (polars, intermediate polars and
DQ Her stars) are grouped about three lines in the orbital period-spin
period diagram. This segregation is shown to be the consequence of
competition between braking and accretion torques when combined with the
effects of cyclical variations in rate of mass trasfer.
