ABSTRACT:
A vertical gyroscopic reference system consists of a gimballed platform solid with a stator in the form of a hollow spherical chamber in which a substantially spherical gyro rotor revolves, the rotor being both driven and supported by air pressure, and having a pressure-fed hole through its spin axis which cooperates with ports in the stator to provide signals to a pair of pneumatic actuators which slave the platform to follow the gyro rotor.
