Abstract
Jacobi discovered that the motion of a heavy symmetrical top can be decomposed into the motions of two torque-free triaxial tops. In this paper we investigate the connection between the three sets of the dynamical constants in the three top motions. The formulas connecting these constants are found to be projective transformations (fractional linear transformations).
