ABSTRACT:
A tape-suspended meridian gyro has an outer housing, an intermediate housing movably mounted in the outer housing and a gyro having substantially horizontal spin axis. The gyro is suspended by means of a tape within the intermediate housing. A pick-off detects the deflection of a substantially vertical upward axis from its central position. The intermediate housing can be moved by servo motors transversely to the substantially vertical upward axis of the gyro. The servo motors are energized by the pick-off through a controller to damp pendulous oscillations of the tape-suspended gyro.
