The main AI [attitude indicator] used an electrically driven, two axis of freedom, vertical gyroscope assembly... Attitude information was displayed by a sphere which was mechanically driven by the pitch gimbal and directly attached to the roll gimbal of the vertical gyroscope. Movement of the roll and pitch gimbals registered roll and pitch axis sphere movement in relation to a miniature airplane symbol. A roll index, attached to the roll gimbal, indicated the roll displacement angle relative to a frame mounted roll scale.

Un gyroscope de verticale asservit une plate-forme autour de deux axes parallèles aux axes de roulis et de tangage de l'avion. Cette plate-forme délivre les références de roulis et assiette longitudinale et supporte un gyroscope directionnel qui fonctionne en garde-cap.

The gyroscopic frame is responsible for the stabilization of the platform. Three rate gyroscopes are fitted in the frame with their input axes mutually perpendicular... Pitch, roll, and yaw are detected by the three gyroscope input axes. The gimbal deflection of each of the gyroscopes is converted into a signal voltage that, when amplified, drives a servomotor which, via a gear train, rotates the frame back to its original position. 2, record 6, English, - gimbal%20deflection
