A study of the period–amplitude relation for RR Lyrae variables in the globular clusters 47 Tucanae, NGC 6441 and M55 confirms a recent finding that the period–amplitude relation for RRab stars with ‘normal’ light curves is not a function of metal abundance. Evolutionary effects are more important.
