The model C stellarator is symmetrized by applying a magnetic field B/ sub T/ transverse to the confining field B/sub O/ so as to close the flax lines of B/sub O/. The measurements of various plasma parameters in the stellarator as functions of B/sub T/ were used to calculate B/sub S/ (the particular value of B/ sub T/ required for symmetry) and thus predict the lack of closure of the confining field. It is demonstrated that a deliberate change in this lack of closure will produce a desired change in B/sub S/. (C.E.S.)
