Scientific paper

We elaborate an intuitive explanation by Barker [E. M. Barker, Am. J. Phys.
28, 808 (1960)] about why spinning top does not collapse. We present the
explanation in conceptually more rigorous form. We calculate full trajectories
involved. We discuss nutation of spinning top. We describe how Eastman's
explanation is incomplete.
