OPTICAL FLAT PLACEMENT ON ALMOST SPHERICAL GYRO ROTORS.

Abstract

This thesis discusses a technique of precise placement of an optical flat on an almost spherical gyro rotor. An initial flat is placed near the minimum axis of inertia of a sphere. The flat is replaced by successive polishing operations until the minimum axis becomes the maximum axis and a desired alignment of the flat, approximately perpendicular, with the maximum axis is achieved.
