1
Dutton's Nautical Navigation
To take the gyrocompass from the theoretical to the practical, other correctives
must be employed. Latitude, for example, affects the operation of the compass in
ways that require compensation, and environmental factors cause other
problems ...
Benjamin Dutton, Thomas J. Cutler, 2004

How it Works: Science and Technology
The apparent tilting of a gyrocompass in relation to Earth. Because of Earth's
rotation, a gyrocompass that is freely mounted on Earth's surface appears to
change axis. In the diagram, the axis of the gyrocompass at midnight is horizontal
in ...

Gyrocompass "Standard-20" (Anshutz, Germany) Highly automatic analog of "
Standard- 14", microprocessor, digital control, mathematical model, digital self-
synchronizing systems of remote information transmission, additional two- type ...

An Introduction to Mechanics
The Earth is a rotating system and a gyrocompass on the surface of the Earth will
line up with the polar axis indicating true north. A practical gyrocompass is
somewhat more complicated, however, since it must continue to indicate true
north ...
Daniel Kleppner, Robert Kolenkow, 2013

Springer Handbook of Robotics
A gyrocompass obtains this by relying on precession. When a torque is applied to
change the axis of rotation of a spinning object, conservation of angular
momentum will cause a change in the spin direction that is perpendicular to the
angular ...
Bruno Siciliano, Oussama Khatib, 2008

The Rise and Fall of American Technology
The gyrocompass was by far Sperry's most famous invention and brought him the
recognition as the “father of modern navigation technology.” As the light bulb is to
Edison, so is the gyrocompass to Sperry. He opened a new laboratory in 1900 ...

Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach
EXAMPLE: THE GYROCOMPASS A gyrocompass is a device used to find true
North without reference to the Earth's magnetic field. It consists of a circular disk
spinning about its symmetry axis, with the axis constrained to remain horizontal
but ...
Jorge V. José, Eugene J. Saletan, 1998

Between Human and Machine: Feedback, Control, and Computing ...
The Sperry Gyrocompass Inside the Sperry gyrocompass a feedback device
called a "follow-up" or "phantom" element automatically tracked the movement of
the spinning gyro and amplified its signal. The follow-up servo could drive any ...

Dynamic Response of a
Gyrocompass
These are then substituted into Lagrange's equation to obtain the three equations of motion for the three angular coordinates. As few restrictive assumptions as possible are made during this development.
Subhash Govind Kelkar, 1969

Global Positioning Systems, Inertial Navigation, and Integration
boosters have used this type of optical alignment, which is much faster and more
accurate than gyrocompass alignment. Because it requires a stable platform for
mounting the mirror, it is applicable only to gimbaled systems. (b) An onboard ...
