Scientific paper

In this final paper we review the period variation of all 24 contact binaries investigated. Apparent sudden period changes are probably always continuous when considered carefully. The period variations observed in systems of closely similar properties can be either to increase or decrease. We consider this to be an effect of flow reversals, in keeping with the standard TRO theory. A number of new parameter sets have been derived and we compare the general findings on contact binary parameters with the generally recognised period-mass and mass-radius relations. Systems for which further observations are highly desirable are noted.
