On a commencé par utiliser des gyroscopes à paliers à billes [...] Leur dérive était satisfaisante mais leur évolution présentait des sauts brutaux et imprévisibles. La génération suivante [...] est constituée de gyroscopes à paliers à gaz. Le gyroscope est dans une masse de fréon, il ne touche pas à ses paliers, c'est un film de gaz qui assure le centrage de l'élément sensible dans le bâti. Ces gyroscopes dérivent beaucoup moins que les précédents et surtout, comme il n'y a pas d'usure des composants, leur dérive est infiniment plus stable.  2, record 2, French, - palier%20%C3%A0%20gaz
