I remember this, however it's not the thing I was thinking of... What I 
remember seeing in book and film was a very large single rotor blade, 
counterbalanced on the opposite side of the rotor shaft. I don't think 
it ever flew, it just provided a lot of test data.

If anyone knows the make & model of such a thing I'd be grateful.

Thanks
Matt
