It has become clear in recent years through the work of Collins (1963, 1965, 1966), Collins and Harrington (1966), Hardorp and Strittmatter (1968a, b) and Roxburgh and Strittmatter (1965) how seriously the spectrum of a star may be affected by rotation. However, before atmospheric models for rotating stars can be computed, the results of corresponding interior models have to be available. For polytropic configurations a great many rotating interior models have been constructed (Chandrasekhar, 1933; James, 1964; Stoeckly, 1965; Monaghan and Roxburgh, 1965; and Anand, 1968), but for rotating main-sequence stars few computations exist (Sweet and Roy, 1953; Roxburgh et al, 1965; Ostriker and Mark, 1968; Faulkner et al., 1968). In fact for B- and Be-type stars for which the most rapid rotation along the main sequence is observed, not a single interior model has yet been computed except in this conference reported by Kippenhahn and Thomas (1970). It is this gap that the present paper attempts to close.
