Extract

This paper suggests reasons why certain forms and frequencies are found in librations of the pole. The period is about 27 years, but there is also a shorter period which was found empirically to vary with the inverse of the amplitude of the Chandler nutation. It had been found also that the pattern of the motions would sometimes become reversed.
