A method for estimating representative values of the parameters that characterize the loss of mass and angular momentum occurred during the evolution of a close binary star is considered. Absolute dimensions previous to mass-transfer stage have been obtained for a select group of 43 semidetached systems adopting a grid of values of mass loss, angular momentum loss and initial mass ratio. Our study reveals a highly non-conservative scenario for the evolution towards an Algol-type system.
