The Floating Integrating Gyro and Its Application to Geometrical Stabilization Problems on Moving Bases

The book, titled ""The Floating Integrating Gyro And Its Application To Geometrical Stabilization Problems On Moving Bases"" by Charles Stark Draper, is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of the floating integrating gyro. The book covers the basic theory behind the gyro, including its construction and operation, as well as its use in stabilizing moving bases. The author begins by introducing the concept of the gyro and its historical development, before delving into the technical details of its construction and operation. He then discusses the various types of gyroscopes and their applications, including the floating integrating gyro, which is the focus of the book.The book goes on to explore the use of the floating integrating gyro in geometrical stabilization problems on moving bases. This includes discussions of the gyro's use in aircraft, ships, and other moving platforms, as well as its applications in navigation, control, and guidance systems.Throughout the book, the author provides detailed explanations and illustrations to help readers understand the principles and applications of the floating integrating gyro. He also includes numerous examples and case studies to demonstrate the gyro's effectiveness in real-world situations.Overall, ""The Floating Integrating Gyro And Its Application To Geometrical Stabilization Problems On Moving Bases"" is an essential resource for engineers, researchers, and students interested in gyroscopic technology and its applications in stabilizing moving platforms.Presented At The Annual Meeting Of The Institute Of Aeronautical Sciences On January 27, 1955.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
