Abstract

127,703. Robins, T. H., and Thompson, G. H. May 31, 1918. Gyroscopic apparatus.-In apparatus for indicating the inclination of aeroplanes &c. of the type in which a gyroscope acts in conjunction with a freely-mounted plumb-member, the gyroscope is rotated by compressed air or suction. Figs. 1 and 2 are sectional elevations taken at right-angles. A casing a carries in horizontal bearings j, k a drum h, having a graduated band m opposite a sight-aperture. Within the drum h is a plumb-weight o mounted on bearings p and clamped on to a vertical spindle q upon which is mounted a fly-wheel v with fans w, x, the centre of gravity being below the point of suspension. Surrounding the weight o in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the band m is a vertical cam r carried on the spindle q by a yoke s and adjustable by means of a screwed ring t. The cam r bears on the end of a series of balls passing through the bearing k and bearing at the other end on a lever z actuating an indicator. The air for rotating the fly-wheel v is led to the fans w, x by channels 1, 4, 5 passing through the bearings. The casing a has a convex portion d which is held in a concave strap c to allow of small adjustment.
