Mechanical gyros(Dynamically Tuned Gyro, DTG) consist of a rotating body suspended dynamically tuned on low friction gimbals. The rotating mass attempts to keep the orientation of the rotation axis constant and thus creates a torque on the suspension when the system is turned. The torque is proportional to the rate. 2, record 1, English, - dynamically%20tuned%20suspension

Équations de la gyroscopie [...] Suspension dynamique accordée [...] le principe : Les paliers des articulations S1-S2 et S2-S3 ne sont plus des roulements, mais remplacés par [des] joints de Hooke ou encore des barres de torsion élastiques. Un calcul complexe montre qu'à une vitesse précise dite d'accord, la raideur des joints est compensée [...] par le couple des forces d'inertie centrifuge et la suspension ne présente plus alors aucune rigidité. Les débattements de la toupie, en orientation, sont limités à quelques degrés. La condition d'accord définissant la vitesse correcte relie les caractéristiques des barres de torsion et un moment d'inertie particulier de l'anneau interne. On l'appelle la condition de tuning et c'est ce qui donne à la technique le nom de gyroscope accordé. 1, record 1, French, - suspension%20dynamique%20accord%C3%A9e

Another reason to believe the spacecraft experienced high body rates is that the gyros-all three axes independently-were found in Whole Angle Mode(WAM) when the spacecraft was recovered. This mode is entered when the gyro's normal strap-down mode(a locked force-to-rebalance loop) cannot be maintained; this occurs when body rates exceed about 11°/s... 2, record 2, English, - whole%20angle
