Data on a large sample (∼400) of candidates for the classical Algol-type eclipsing binary configurations have been collected. The mass-ratio q has been calculated on the assumption of their semi-detached nature, and then compared with corresponding period for some subsets of the sample. The tendency to slight overluminosity (compared with corresponding MS stars) of the primaries in classical Algols is confirmed.

The role of the loss of angular momentum in classical Algol evolution is considered, together with a method for determining representative parameters to characterize such effects using the sample data. The possible existence of a class of post-contact classical Algols is noted.
