Source sentences:
text: If the gyroscope is not spinning, it acquires angular momentum in the direction of the torque, and it rotates about a horizontal axis, falling over just as we would expect.
text: since the axis of rotation (the wheel's axles) is horizontal, the wheels win resist any force that tends to tilt
text: If you hold the gyroscope so that its axis of rotation is horizontal (so that the spinning disc is in the vertical plane), the gyroscope's angular momentum is in the horizontal plane and there is none in the vertical plane (as in figure 5).
