[The magnetic slave card] also provides heading stability during normal maneuvers. However, when movement of the aircraft is sufficient to cause the erection cut-off switches in the GRU [gyro reference unit] to be activated, these will also remove the magnetic slaving error signal, thus preventing erroneous signals from precessing the DG [directional gyro]. 1, record 1, English, - erection%20cut%2Doff%20switch

Gyroscopic instruments... Once the artificial horizon line is aligned with the natural horizon of the earth during initial erection, the artificial horizon is kept horizontal by the gyro on which it is mounted. An erection mechanism automatically rights the gyro when precession occurs due to maneuvers or friction. When the older-type gyro tumbles as a result of extreme attitude changes, the rotor normally precesses slowly back to the horizontal plane. Even an attitude indicator in perfect condition can give slight erroneous readings. Small errors due to acceleration and deceleration are not significant because the erection device corrects them promptly; nonetheless, the pilot should be aware of them... 3, record 7, English, - initial%20erection

The phase reversal is designed to keep all of the signal phasing correct while reversing the phase of the gyro pick-off signal.

Attitude gyros, technically called vertical gyros because of the orientation of their spin axis, do precess, but correction is applied automatically. All attitude gyros have an automatic erection system that drives the gyro back to vertical when it precesses. The erection system detects gravity by means of a pendulous sensor that in turn opens air blast vanes on an air-driven gyro or powers electric torquer motors to drive the gyro back to vertical when it precesses. 3, record 13, English, - electrical%20torquer
