Abstract: 867,866. Electric transducers. SPERRY GYROSCOPE CO. Ltd. Feb. 7, 1957, No. 4310/57. Addition to 841,944. Drawings to Specification. Class 40 (1). In a gyroscope of the type defined in the parent Specification and Specification 867,867, the relative displacement between the rotor case and the outer housing is detected by a pick-off in which electrically-conductive paths are provided by the mercury in the space between the casing and housing. The pick-off consists of an iron core mounted in the housing and having a first limb surrounded by two ducts through which the mercury can move freely and a second limb provided with primary and secondary windings. The rotor case carries a member formed with a channel, filled with mercury, opposite the pick-off ducts. Relative movement of the housing and rotor case changes the relative positions of the channel and ducts and produces a corresponding change in the relative values of the resistances of the mercury paths through the ducts. The resultant alteration in reluctance of the core is indicated in the change in impedance of the secondary windings.
