ABSTRACT:
A mass located in a track defined by a closed, continuous path is gradually and smoothly accelerated or decelerated by controlling movement of the track so a portion of the track where the mass is sensed to be located is moved inwardly (for acceleration) or outwardly (for deceleration) along a local radius of curvature of the track.
