It is ... apparent that gyroscopic inertia depends on the angular velocity and the momentum of inertia of the rotor, or on its angular momentum. The rotor wheel is subject to the laws of rotational motion and inertia in that a freely rotating body will maintain a fixed direction in space, and the rotor tends to preserve its angular momentum, or spinning action, unless acted on by some external force. 3, record 2, English, - angular%20momentum

The first ... mechanical quantity [involved in gyroscopic motion] is the angular momentum, or "spin," of a gyroscope. Thus, the top can spin in either of two directions, described as clockwise or counterclockwise when looking along the axis of symmetry. Its angular momentum, or spin, can be represented as a directed line segment, called the spin vector, that points along the axis. 2, record 2, English, - angular%20momentum
