Two transformations, called elementary, are defined for special spines, and it is shown that any one special spine of aРЃ3-manifold can be obtained from any other by a sequence of elementary transformations and their inverses. Applications are made to the Zeeman conjecture on 1-collapsibility of 2-dimensional contractible polyhedra. Figures: 7. Bibliography: 6 titles.
