Garde-cap. Il s'agit d'un gyroscope que l'on maintient horizontal et qui définit une direction fixe dans le plan horizontal à sa dérive près. Le gyroscope est monté à la Cardan comme dans le cas du compas mais il n'est pas balourdé. Un détecteur d'horizon monté sur la caisse de tore délivre un signal proportionnel à l'inclinaison du moment cinétique; ce signal est traité et est envoyé dans un moteur couple d'axe cd qui crée un couple vertical ramenant le moment cinétique horizontal. 1, record 1, French, - mont%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20la%20Cardan

On semble écrire «cardan» avec ou sans la majuscule initiale (Cardan, du nom de l'inventeur); on semble cependant préférer la majuscule dans les expressions : monté à la Cardan, joint de Cardan, suspension à la Cardan; et la minuscule quand on utilise le substantif seul. 6, record 1, French, - mont%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20la%20Cardan
