This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A concept for correcting imbalance in spinning bodies exploits the gyroscopic action of flywheels attached to the body. The speeds of the flywheels would be automatically regulated to null the dynamic forces transmitted to the bearings. The concept should be useful for compensating rotating bodies on Earth. For example, it may be applied to a large industrial centrifuge, particularly if its balance changes during operation. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Director, Technology Transfer Division, P.O.
