The Two Frame Gyroscope. When the rotor is spinning and the spin axis is in a horizontal plane a definite resistance will be felt owing to gyroscope inertia, at the same time the spin axis will begin to precess in a vertical plane and will continue to do so with sufficient power to lift light weights until all the gyroscopic inertia disappears due to the rotor slowing and stopping. The Three Frame Gyroscope. If the base of a three framed gyroscope is held in the hand with the rotor spinning and turned about any of the three axes, the rotor will continue to point in the original direction in space. This property is known as gyroscope inertia. 2, record 1, English, - three%2Dframe%20gyroscope

L'analyse des données provenant des trois encodeurs optiques du gyroscope démontre sans doute qu'au moins un des axes s'est bloqué très tôt au cours du vol. Le gyroscope n'étant plus libre de pivoter sur trois degrés de liberté, des forces de précession sont probablement apparues, causant des rotations aux axes libres qui ne correspondent pas à des mouvements réels de la fusée en vol. Comme le gyroscope a pu être récupéré, un examen de la structure a été effectué après le vol. L'équipe du Gaul a pu constater que le gyroscope a subi des dommages importants : les cadres externes et internes sont très déformés, l'axe des cadres brisé, plusieurs fils sont rompus et l'encodeur de l'axe des cadres présente une grande résistance à la rotation. 2, record 1, French, - gyroscope%20%C3%A0%20trois%20cadres

Three-frame gyroscopes. The unrestrained or "free" three-frame gyroscope has little practical use, because its spin axis is subject to tilting and drifting owing to the rotation of the Earth. 1, record 5, English, - unrestrained%20three%2Dframe%20gyroscope

The CEL-414 is available to meet those requirements where a precision sound level meter is required. A large easy to read liquid crystal display enables the noise levels to be viewed and the slim light weight design will appeal to new and experienced users alike. The CEL-414 can be supplied in European format with the standard 1/2" microphone capsule CEL-192/2F. This is a free field microphone allowing measurements from 20 to 140 dB to be displayed to the relevant IEC requirements. The optional CEL-192/2R capsule is a random incidence microphone fulfilling the requirements of the ANSI specifications. The CEL-414 is available as an A version with the A and Lin frequency weightings or as a C version with the A and C frequency weightings where simple hand held operation is required. 2, record 6, English, - precision%20sound%20level%20meter
