Scientific paper

Gravities deduced from Geneva photometry are used in connection with published magnetic data, rotational periods, and equivalent widths of silicon lines. The distribution of the obliquity angles appears to be random on the ZAMS but becomes increasingly bimodal as evolution proceeds. No evidence of magnetic braking is found, so that slow rotation is linked with stellar formation only. The equivalent width of Si lines seems constant for stars with a mass greater than 3 solar masses but may decrease with decreasing log g for lower mass stars.
