The present paper studies the structural features of the meteor streams associated with Comet Halley deduced from the observations of its meteor showers, as check points of orbital elements in a deeper history of the comet orbit. Libration of the argument of perihelion of the comet and the corresponding displacement of the nodes, as recognized in the distribution of condensations within the stream, allows to estimate the maximum lifetime of the comet in the inner Solar System at about 2 × 105 years.
