Abstract

231,130. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. March 20, 1924, [Convention date]. Sights.-Relates to gyroscope-controlled sighting devices for guns on moving platforms. According to the invention, the gyroscope casing carrying the sight is mounted by a Cardan joint the outer axis of which is maintained parallel to the axis of the gun barrel. As shown, the sighting telescope K is carried by the casing H of the gyroscope J. The casing H is mounted by Cardan joint comprising a fork F carried by one of the trunnions b<1> of the cradle B, a ring G and two pairs of pivots f<2>, g<1>. The axis of the pivots f<2>, between the fork F and the ring G, is parallel to the axis of the barrel A.
