Dynamics of the dynatune gyroscope
Abstract
The paper describes a new form of tuned gyroscope capable of achieving the high precision required for inertial navigation. The essential features of the arrangement consist of a rotor, driven and supported by a set of transverse flexible spokes to which tuning masses are added. The principle of operation is described briefly and confirmed by reference to experimental results.
