The use of the Four College Automatic Photometric Telescope at the Fairborn Observatory in Southern Arizona with its ability to observe stars every clear night and for continuous runs has played a major role in our very successful cooperative program of Strömgren differential uvby photometry of magnetic CP (mCP) stars. Out of about 100 stars observed only a few have variable light curves. But more may be found when additional observations are made. We review the published theoretical basis and observations as well as present new results for CU Vir, V1093 Ori, MW Vul, and HR 7224. We interpret some observations as possibly requiring a more robust theory of the variability of mCP star light curves.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
