DAMPING OF THE TORSION STEM OF A TUNING FORK GYROSCOPE

Abstract

The Coriolis Torques produced by the application of a rate of turn to a tuning-fork gyroscope are measured by the response of a tuned torsion stem. Methods of damping the motion of this stem and the optimum magnitude of this damping are examined theoretically.
