Summary Balancing
When the man invented the wheel, he very quickly learned that if it was not
completely round and if it did not rotate evenly on its central axis, then he
had a problem. The wheel would vibrate, causing damage to itself and its
support mechanism and in severe cases, would be unusable. As the task of
making a replacement was so huge and slow, a method had to be found to
minimize the problem. Research showed that the wheel and its axis had to
be in a state of equilibrium, that is. the mass had to be evenly distributed
over the swivel center line for the resulting vibration to be at a minimum.
This had to be achieved during the manufacturing process (and perhaps as
important as wear occurred) in order for maximum system life to be
achieved. An imbalance level that is acceptable at low speed is completely
unacceptable at a higher speed. This is because the imbalance condition
produces centrifugal force, which increases as the speed increases. In fact,
the force formula shows that the force caused by the imbalance increases by
the square of speed. If the speed is doubled, the force quadruples. Prolonged
exposure to vibration causes damage and increased machine downtime. 2F
m r á (1.1) The International Organization of Standards defines the
imbalance as: That condition that exists in a rotor when giving force or
vibratory movement to its bearings as a result of centrifugal forces. A more
popular definition is: The uneven distribution of mass over the rotating
center line of a rotor. Identifying and correcting mass distribution and thus
minimizing the resulting force and vibration is the technique known as
dynamic equilibrium.

In the game of contract bridge, balancing (or protection in Britain) refers to making a call
other than Pass when passing would result in the opponents playing at a low level. Balancing
is done by the player in the balancing position, i.e. to the right of the player making the last
non-pass call. This is in contrast to bidding in the direct position, i.e. by the player to the left.
Balancing is normally done with values unsuitable for direct action, but only after the
opponents' bidding has demonstrated weakness or minimal strength. The aim of the tactic is to
find a makeable or nearly-makeable contract for one's own side or to "push" opponents a level
higher. It is more common in matchpoint games, where even a defeat and loss of 100 points is
a relatively better result than the opponents' gain of 110-140 points.
