Jose, P., Astron. J., 70, 193 (1965). This recent article suggests a connexion, between a 178-year cycle of Wolf number maxima and the rate of change of solar angular momentum. However, his results were based on the five outer planets only, and our investigation shows that the inner planets have a major effect on the rate of change of angular momentum.
