The characteristics of rotational velocities in fifteen open clusters and associations are summarized. The differences in mean rotational velocities observed between individual groups are found to be due primarily to three mechanisms: evolutionary expansion, tidal coupling of rotational and orbital motion in binaries, and magnetic braking in Ap stars.
