Abstract
147,271. Smith, W. S., and Lindemann, F. A. April 14, 1919. Gyroscopic apparatus. - Relates to turn-indicators for aircraft, of the kind in which the ratc of turning is measured bv the restrained precession of a gyroscope, the rotor of which is rotated by air flowing past the craft, and consists in constructing the rotor in the form of a windmill with a heavy rim and with spokes acting as an air-screw. As shown in Fig. 1, the windmill rotor 13 is mounted in the forked end of a frame 16 rotatable about its axial line, which is parallel to the transverse axis of the aircraft. The frame carries at its inner end a gear segment 24 gearing with a pinion 26 which turns a pointer 28. The segment 24 carries a bifurcated controlling-spring 31, Fig. 2, bearing against an abutment 32 on an adjustable screw 33. In a modification, the spokes of the rotor 13 are replaced by a solid web through which suitably inclined holes are bored. The rotor and its frame may be enclosed in a tubular shield.
