==Abstract==

In the paper "The Gyro-Gravitational Spin Vector Torque Dynamics of Main Belt Asteroids in relationship with their Tilt and their Orbital Inclination" I found the excellent compliance between the observations and the extrapolations of  E. Skogl?v and A. Erikson, 2002, and the theoretical deductions according the Maxwell Analogy for Gravitation. This implies namely  the  existence of  the  second gravitational  field: Gyrotation  (Co-gravitation).  Six of  the  seven observations are directly explained by the theory. The seventh observation: "there is a significant majority of asteroids with a prograde spin vector compared to retrograde ones" is explainable by supposing that the asteroids are created, like most of the planets are, prograde. The theory found that the asteroids' spins are expected to end-up as retrograde. Two factors play  a  role: the speed  of  change of  tilt  due to  gyrotation, and  the other  influences  like the  perturbations  by Jupiter and  Saturn  or the  gravitational  librations. Here,  mainly the gyrotation part is studied analytically and graphically, and commented.
