The rate gyroscopes are not spring-restrained. Instead, "floatation gyroscopes" in which the precession is opposed by the viscous drag of a liquid are employed. The opposing torque is therefore proportional to the precession rate, instead of the precession displacement, as in a spring-restrained gyroscope.
