Saddle point shapes; fission barrier; rotating liquid drop model; rotating finite-range model

This article reviews the work relating to the development of a rotating liquid drop model together with a chronology of its confrontation with the experimental interpretation of data. It is brought out that the zero temperature rotating finite range model is quite successful in the interpretation of data obtained from heavy ion-induced reactions.
