Abstract
The axes of the type I tails of comets are defined by the directions (position angles at the nucleus) to which the tail rays are “closing in”. The axes are normally lagging behind the prolonged radius vector. It is shown that the directions of the tail axes are determined by the forces which regulate the outflow of the tail material from its source in the head. A direct influence of the “solar wind” on the position of the tail axes is not apparent.
