We have constructed curves relating the X-ray flux and the accretion torque for three X-ray pulsars. These three transient sources, GRO J1744-28, SAX J2103.5+4545 and KS 1947+300, were all observed over a broad range of X-ray fluxes by RXTE. Together they provide a strong test of binary accretion theory. We have fit the model to these data down to extremely low fluxes where the theory has not been significantly tested before.
