ABSTRACT:
In this gyro compass the direction-indicating gyro system is suspended pivotably in all directions from a pendulum, which is mounted to rotate about a vertical axis in a frame integral with a ship, and which has on its upper end an element that extends into a tank containing a damping fluid for dampening oscillations of the pendulum.
