Following the demonstration that gravitational waves impart linear momentum,
it is argued that if they are polarized they should impart angular momentum to
appropriately placed 'test rods' in their path. A general formula for this
angular momentum is obtained and used to provide expressions for the angular
momentum imparted by plane and cylindrical gravitational waves.
