Extract
Until 1976, cataclysmic variable star research proceeded with few requirements for the inclusion of magnetic fields in theoretical models. Although models for low-mass X-ray binaries stressed the importance of magnetic fields (Lamb et at. 1973) and there was an increasing number of known magnetic single white dwarfs (Angel 1977), and a magnetised white dwarf had been one of the models proposed to explain the rapid oscillations in DQ Her (Herbst et al. 1974, Katz 1975), there was no anticipation of the more general role that magnetic fields now seem destined to play. The two major reviews of the time (Robinson 1976, Warner 1976) scarcely considered the presence of magnetic fields.
