Scientific paper

Consideration is given to the question of whether or not the W Ser stars are a coherent class and the possibility that W Serpentis stars should be classified with Algol systems. The features and distribution of rotation of Algol systems are discussed. Centrifugally limited accretion of W Ser stars is examined as a mechanism to build up a substantial disk in the evolution from a W Ser to a rapidly rotating Algol to a normal Algol system. The possible presence of a fourth morphological type of close binary, the double contact close binary, is noted and suggestions for future research are presented.
