Strapdown Gyro System.
Abstract
The patent application relates to a gyro using a uniquely vibrated wire kept in constant motion and whose plane of vibration is rotated a predetermined small amount in an oscillatory fashion. Sensing equipment monitors the change in angular position and transforms this information into pulses which perform two functions. A first function is to transmit the pulses to components that force the plane of vibration to a new angle. The other function is to transmit the pulses to equipment that counts records and determines the angle of rotation.
