Synchro torque receivers... are electrically identical to torque transmitters of the same size except for the addition of some form of damping. In some sizes of 400-Hz synchros, units are designated as torque receivers but may be used as either transmitters or receivers. Unlike the transmitter, the receiver has an electrical input to its stator and a mechanical output from its rotor. The synchro receiver's function is to convert the electrical data supplied to its stator from the transmitter, back to a mechanical angular position through the movement of its rotor. This function is accomplished when the rotor is connected to the same ac source as the transmitter and assumes a position determined by the interaction of its magnetic field with the magnetic field of the stator. 2, record 4, English, - synchro%20receiver

The gyrosyn compass system incorporates a flux valve that senses the earth's magnetic lines of force through electromagnetic induction. They induce a voltage in the coils of a sensing unit in the flux valve... The flux valve is pendullously installed(to keep it horizontal) inside a case filled with damping fluid, usually in a wing tip, remote from local magnetic disturbances in the airframe. 7, record 5, English, - flux%20valve

Le système de gyrocompas comprend notamment une sonde magnétométrique qui perçoit les lignes magnétiques terrestres par induction électromagnétique. Les lignes magnétiques produisent un voltage dans le détecteur de la sonde magnétique. [...] La sonde magnétométrique est suspendue, tel un pendule (afin de la garder horizontale), à l'intérieur d'un boîtier rempli d'un liquide amortissant. Elle est habituellement installée au bout de l'aile, à l'écart des perturbations magnétiques locales de la cellule. 6, record 5, French, - sonde%20magn%C3%A9tom%C3%A9trique
