Surface grinders. Surface grinding is accomplished by holding one or several workpieces on either a rotary or a reciprocating horizontal table and passing them through the cutting path of a rotating grinding wheel. The wheel may be mounted in either a vertical or a horizontal plane. Surface grinders are classed according to the axis of the grinding wheel as horizontal or vertical. Horizontally mounted wheels grind on their peripheries; vertically mounted wheels grind on their circular faces. 5, record 3, English, - surface%20grinder

When the spinning top, for example, is acted upon by a gravity-induced torque, the original rotational motion tries to align itself with the added rotational motion of the torque. The motion, or precession, of the gyroscope that results is perpendicular to the applied torque.

Dans ce cas, l'effet d'amplification de couple --le fait qu'un faible couple autour de l'axe de précession produise un fort couple autour de l'axe perpendiculaire-- est moins important car le moteur de précession autour d'un des axes doit surpasser les couples de précession produits par l'autre.

Gyroscopic pendulum. Free pendulum. The gyro spinning wheel is running at constant speed. The precession drive, which lies in a plane symmetric with respect to the gimbal is not controlled. When the gimbal becomes free, the gravity torque drives it around the horizontal axis, perpendicular to the symmetry plane, until it falls on the top. 1, record 12, English, - free%20pendulum

Pendule gyroscopique. Pendule libre. La toupie gyroscopique est entraînée à vitesse constante. Le moteur de précession qui est dans le plan de symétrie du berceau n'est pas commandé. Quant on lâche le berceau, le couple de gravité fait tourner le berceau autour de son axe horizontal perpendiculaire à son plan de symétrie jusqu'à tomber sur la butée. Cette vitesse de rotation induit un couple gyroscopique qui fait basculer la toupie autour de son axe de précession malgré la résistance du réducteur du moteur de précession. 2, record 12, French, - pendule%20libre

In the attitude indicator, the gyro wheel is mounted horizontally and spins about its vertical axis. It is mounted in a universal gimbal ring system, free about both the pitching and rolling axes of the airplane and is therefore able to remain spinning in a horizontal plane parallel to the true horizon, regardless of the rolling or pitching movements of the airplane around it. 1, record 15, English, - universal%20gimbal%20ring%20system
