| Abstract: | The period variations of TV Cassiopeiae between 1901 and 1977 are discussed in the light of the period change model proposed by Biermann and Hall. During each period decrease 4.0×10–6
M
 of mass is transferred from the secondary star to the primary. The average observable mass transfer rate is found to be 4.3×10–7
M
yr–1. This average rate corresponds to the thermal time-scale of the mass-losing star. |
