addition of balance weights

Quote:

Anywhere I can see a pic of balance weight addition???
I just can't get my head around the physical "how its done".

I couldn't find a photo but the patent below shows balancing rim with holes for weights (#62) attached with rivets (#64).

Patent US6893222 - Turbine balancing - Google Patents

Hope that helps.
