GYROSCOPIC ORIENTATION,

Abstract

Contents: Peculiarities of topographic preparation of contemporary artillery and rockets; Short history of the development of gyro-instruments; Basic information from mechanics, necessary for studying the elementary theory of gyroscope; Gyrocourse indicator and its use for topographic surveying (basic rules of motion of a gyroscope; precession of gyrocourse indicator; losses of gyroscope stability; basic peculiarities of the design of a gyrocourse indicator, emanating from an analysis of accuracy of its work; basic peculiarities of the use of gyrocourse indicator; use of the gyrocourse indicator for topographic surveying of rockets and artillery); The gyrocompass and its use for topographical surveying (principles of layout and work of a gyroscopic compass; peculiarities of design and use of pendular gyrocompass designed for topographic works; recommendation on reducing the time of orientation); Short description of the layout of Mine Surveyor Gyrocompass MG.
