symmetry: In general, a figure or expression is said to be symmetric if parts of it may be interchanged without changing the whole. ... A right circular cone has an axis of symmetry.

Controlled pendulum. The gyro spinning wheel is running at constant speed.

Measurement of the rotation angle around the horizontal axis perpendicular to the symmetry plane of the gimbal is used to perform the precession control. This control aims to keep the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly over the rotation axis.
