This paper is correct, but contains less information than the new one. The topological classification of knots that are closed braids is shown to lead to a classification theorem for transversal knots that are closed 3-braids. A list is given of all low crossing examples of transversally non-simple knots that are closed 3-braids.The contents of this 6-page paper have been subsumed into the 13-page paper, "A note on closed 3-braids", arXiv:0802.1072 [math.GT]Geometric TopologyDifferential Geometry57M25, 57M50text
