SOME NOTES ON TORSION OSCILLATOR GYROSCOPES

Abstract

A torsion oscillator can be used as the sensing element of a vibratory gyroscope instead of the more commonly used tuning fork. Some theoretical aspects of torsion oscillators suitable for this application, and practical considerations in their use are both examined.
