Abstract

145,459. Ansch³tz & Co. March 24, 1917, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic apparatus.- A turn-indicator for aircraft comprises a simple pendulum 6 and a gyroscopic pendulum 10, mounted in co-linear bearings 4, 5 and 7, 8 respectively, the line of these bearings lying in the direction of flight. The axis of rotation of the rotor 12 is parallel to the transverse axis of the aircraft. The pendulums carry pointers 13, 14 moving over a common scale 15, turning of the aircraft about the vertical being indicated by relative movement between the pointers. The dimensions and speed of rotation of the gyroscope are preferably so adjusted that the gyroscopic deflexion on turning is approximately equal and opposite to the deflexion of the pendulum due to centrifugal force, so that the pendulum 10 remains approximately in the true vertical. The pendulum 6 may be replaced by a liquid level.
