ABSTRACT:
In an azimuth determining gyroscope, a mechanically balanced gimbal is suspended from a fixed case by a wire which passes through the generally tubular upper portion of the suspended gimbal. A spin motor and a wheel for rotating about a vertical axis are coupled to the lower portion of the suspended gimbal. The upper portion of the suspended gimbal has pickoff and torquer coils for measuring the position of the suspended gimbal with respect to the fixed case and for providing torque to the suspended gimbal. Leads to the spin motor are configured to act as azimuth restraint means between the suspended gimbal and the fixed case.
