Scientific paper

Preliminary measurements of rotational velocities of pre-main-sequence stars indicate that stars evolving into early F or late A spectral type have rotational velocities which are consistent with present main-sequence stars of similar spectral type. Stars evolving into G type, however, have rotational velocities which are as high as 100 km/s and would reach the main-sequence with velocities of about 150 km/s. This requires the presence of a strong stellar wind to carry off considerable angular momentum in order to slow down the sun to its present low rotational velocity.
