Abstract: 14,486. Henderson, J. B. June 16. Gyroscopic compasses.-In gyroscopic compasses having the gyroscope casing 1, Figs. 1 and 2, mounted in neutral equilibrium on horizontal trunnions 2 and stabilized by a pendulum 24, as described in Specification 26,160/13, the period of the pendulum is increased by linking it to an auxiliary gyroscope. The casing 30, Fig. 3, of the auxiliary gyroscope is mounted on gimbal rings 32, 35 and is also connected by springs 33 to the inner ring 32. As shown in Fig. 1, the ring 35 is secured to one of the trunnions 2, and a link 26 connects the pendulum 24 and a crank 36 on one of the trunnions 34 between the rings 32, 35. The ring 35 may alternatively be mounted above the gyroscope 1, being carried by the frame 3 supporting the gyroscope 1 as shown in Fig. 2, or by rods 17 forming part of a following mechanism, and its plane is kept parallel to the axis of the gyroscope by a link 28, a link 29 connecting the crank 36 and a crank on the pendulum 24. When it is desired that the auxiliary gyroscope shall damp the oscillations about the meridian, its axis is placed horizontally, the ring 32 being turned through a right-angle. As shown in Fig. 1, the frame 3 is secured to a ball 4 floating in mercury in a bowl 6 attached to the card 7. The card 7 runs on ball bearings 8 in a ring 9 carried by gimbals, and follows the movements of the gyroscope 1, being turned by a motor 10 controlled by a two-part commutator 22 carried by a frame 14 secured to the card 7 and a contactroller 21 carried by and above the trunnion 2. Oscillation about the meridian may be damped by a torsion wire 18 extending between the ball 4 and a cap 19 mounted on a bridge-piece 13 secured to the card. Precession of the gyroscope 1 in a vertical plane causes the roller 21 to contact with one or other part of the commutator 22 and operate the motor 10 so as to put twist in the wire 18. The oscillations may, alternatively, be damped by springs 23, Fig. 2, or loaded cords extending between cranks 20 on the trunnions 2 and the frame 14. According to the Provisional Specification, the oscillations may also be damped by loops of loaded cord secured to the pendulum at different levels and to opposite sides of the following frame, or by any arrangement described in Specification 26,068/13.
