Abstract

After a brief review of the fundamental kinetic equations of gyroscope motion, the following topics are considered: (a) The erection of an electrically driven gyroscope when an electrical torque is applied. (b) The effect of inequality of the principal moments of inertia normal to the spin axis, on gyroscope motion. (c) The effect of inertia of the gimbals on motion of the gyroscope.
