Scientific paper

Tides raised by a satellite on a rotating planet dissipate energy and
result in an exchange of angular momentum between the orbit and the
spin. A set of diagrams is constructed which shows the evolution of the
angular momentum vectors. The results are applied to possible histories
of the Uranus system.
