Abstract

162,304. Tripp, W. H. Oct. 15, 1918. Gyroscopic apparatus.-A turn indicator for aircraft comprises one or more gyroscopes 1 pivoted in a balanced ring 5 which floats on pivots 6 in a frame 7 secured to the aircraft, the pivots 6 being fore-and-aft and the whole pivoted system being in neutral equilibrium. The direction of spin of the gyroscope is over towards the nose of the aircraft as shown by the arrow, Fig. 2. Precessional motion of the ring 5 in response to turning of the aircraft is indicated by a vane 11 secured to the ring and is restrained by springs 10 acting on a pin 24 secured to the ring. The springs are secured to a support 19 carried by the frame 7 and can be adjusted by a slidable clip 22, Fig. 8. Precession of the ring 5 is limited by adjustable stops 9 which may be positioned to allow a total swing of about 160 degrees in order that the maximum effect may be produced when a steeply-banked turn is executed. By turning the whole apparatus in its own plane until the pivots 6 are vertical, the instrument may be used to indicate tilting. Auxiliary means for indicating tilting unaccompanied by turning comprise a pendulum 12 mounted on one of the pivots 6 and having an indicating-vane 13.
