Ce sont des appareils capables de mesurer la vitesse de rotation absolue de Chandra selon deux axes différents, et dont le fonctionnement repose sur l'utilisation d’une toupie gyroscopique; celle-ci, animée d’une vitesse de rotation élevée(plusieurs milliers de tours par minute), possède une «rigidité inertielle» qui la maintient selon une direction fixe : si l'on applique un couple(une force qui tend à mettre un solide en rotation) sur l'axe de rotation de la toupie, celle-ci s’écarte beaucoup moins vite de sa direction initiale que si elle n’ était pas animée d’un mouvement de rotation élevée(c'est d’ailleurs pour cette raison de stabilité que les balles des armes à feu sortent du canon en rotation.). 5, record 6, French, - axe%20de%20spin

Degree of rotation of the rifling grooves. It can be constant or progressive, i.e. tightening in pitch as it nears the muzzle. The degree of twist can be defined by: the distance for the grooves to make a complete revolution, the number of calibres for one complete revolution, or the angle between the line of the groove and the axis of the bore. The sense of the twist, i.e. right- or left-hand as viewed from the breech, should also be specified, though very few firearms use a left-hand twist. 1, record 14, English, - twist%20of%20rifling

Degré de rotation des rayures. Le pas peut être constant ou progressif, i. e. se resserrant en approchant de la bouche. Le pas de la rayure peut être déterminé par : la distance requise pour un tour complet des rayures, le nombre de calibres pour un tour complet ou l'angle entre la ligne de la rayure et l'axe de l'âme. Le sens du pas, soit à droite ou à gauche, vu de la culasse, devrait aussi être précisé, même si très peu d’armes à feu utilisent un pas à gauche. 1, record 14, French, - pas%20de%20la%20rayure
