ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for determining balance of a cylindrical vehicle, the pparatus comprising a frame adapted for horizontal disposition, first and second support assemblies mounted on the frame for receiving the vehicle, first and second load cells mounted, respectively, on the first and second support assemblies, whereby upon placement of the vehicle on the support assemblies the load cells are adapted to provide readings indicative of the weight of the vehicle, from which may be determined the center of gravity of the vehicle. A torsion cell assembly is mounted on the frame and adapted for connection to the vehicle and for providing indications of righting moment and static heel of the vehicle.
