Gyroscopes : Theory and Design

Here, in one volume, prepared by eleven top authorities, is a detailed account of modern (circa 1961) engineering theory & practice in high-precision gyroscopics, ranging from basic concepts to practical design details-from the construction of components to their applications in ballistic missiles and space vehicles. Includes complete and thorough coverage of the gyrocompass, stable gyro verticals, and inertial guidance systems. Has more than 200 charts, tables, drawings, and photographs. Editor P. Savet was staff-scientist at American Bosch Arma Corp-Arms Division, and the author of this book's chapter on vector & operational calculus.
