Mercury flotation. The directive force of any gyrocompass is small when nearly on the meridian. It is therefore necessary to suspend it in as nearly a frictionless support as possible. This is accomplished by supporting the sensitive element on a hollow steel sphere which floats in a concentric tank of mercury... The sphere should clear the bottom of the tank by 3/16 in. For convenience in checking this position, a line has been placed on the contact support tube. This line is level with the topmost surface of the sensitive element when the flotation is correct. 3, record 2, English, - flotation

De plus, ils comportent éventuellement : un liquide amortisseur dans lequel baigne un carter étanche contenant la toupie; il en résulte l'application à ce carter d'un couple «visqueux» [...] étant un coefficient constant; en outre, la flottaison ainsi obtenue permet de soulager la liaison boîtier-carter, qui peut alors être constituée par des ensembles pivot-rubis; [...] 2, record 2, French, - flottaison
