Extract

In this paper a periodic solution of the gravitational equations is examined. The solution, which is valid throughout all space, is such that the internal and external fields and their derivatives are continuous at the boundary of a spheroid rotating about an axis other than that of symmetry. At great distances from the system the solution has the same form as the field due to a rotating rod and can be applied to problems like the determination of the velocity of propagation of gravitational waves and the loss of energy of a rotating cohesive system.
