Abstract
Improved assembly for use in an inertially stabilized heliostat device, wherein the vertical stabilized-body-azimuth axis about which the elevation gimbal supporting the inertially stabilized body moves angularly in azimuth coincides with the vertical stabilizing-mirror-azimuth axis about which half-angle movement of the input stabilizing mirror takes place, both of these azimuth axes in turn lie in a plane that is common to that in which the horizontal elevation axis for such elevation gimbal lies, and the mass of the stabilized body lies both fore and aft of such elevation axis.
