After the lowering of the order up to the location of the center of inertia the reduction of this paper is performed by the passage to the
complete set of invariants of the action of linear group of
rotations and reflections on the phase space $\mathrm{T}^{*}\mathbb{R}^n \otimes \mathbb{R}^N$. In distinction to known reductions, this reduction is
homeomorphic. For $N + 1 = 3,\, n=3,2$ the
orbits of the coadjoint representation of the group $Sp(4)$, on which real motions take place, have the
homotopy type of projective space $\mathbb{R}P^3$, sphere $S^2$, homogeneous space $(S^2\times S^1)/\mathbb{Z}^2$.
