Looking for a possible explanation for the debated existence of a correlation between period and eccentricity in binary orbits [of which a diagramme is given in fig. 1.) we made the assumption that the orbital evolution of the binaries could be the consequence of a substantial mass-loss of their components even when these components are late type main sequence stars.
This led first to the consideration of various classes of the areal constant. But it.immediately appeared much better to consider for each of such classes, the total mass of each system instead of its orbital eccentricity and thus to consider the mass-period diagramme rather than the period-eccentricity diagramme. Eleven such diagrammes were considered.
