ABSTRACT:
A miniature automatically self-aligning azimuth reference employs a floated pendulous gyrocompass device for the rapid determination of geographic north as required for surveying purposes. Fast alignment with north from an initially misaligned condition is effected in an iterative manner through the action of a unitary vertical-axis magnetic centering-torquer-pick off system employing eddy current forces.
