[A] two-degrees-of-freedom gyro torqued on gimbal mounts to hold spin axis vertical, thus giving output signals proportional to rotation about two orthogonal axes, usually pitch/roll. 7, record 1, English, - vertical%20gyroscope
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A vertical gyro is a gyroscope whose spin axis is "stabilized" or gimbaled to remain vertical with respect to gravity. The vertical gyro is used to measure rotations away from vertical relative to the fixed earth reference frame. 8, record 1, English, - vertical%20gyroscope
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In this gyro, output signals are produced by gimbal angular displacements that correspond to angular displacements of the case surrounding two nominally orthogonal, horizontal axes. 9, record 1, English, - vertical%20gyroscope

Indicateur de verticale. C'est un appareil comportant un gyroscope dont le moment cinétique est dirigé au mieux suivant la verticale. Le carter du gyroscope est monté à la Cardan suivant les axes de roulis ou de tangage du bâtiment [...] Les pendules détecteurs (roulis ou tangage) détectent les écarts de verticale, et ils alimentent les moteurs couples correspondants (roulis ou tangage) de façon à ramener les signaux des pendules à zéro, le moment cinétique du gyroscope est ainsi maintenu vertical. 3, record 1, French, - gyroscope%20de%20verticale
