Abstract
A gyroscope in which sprung elements are supported in cantilever fashion from a rotor and extend in a generally inward direction towards the rotor axis. The centers of mass of the elements are out of alignment with the rotor axis and the elements are free to vibrate in directions parallel to that axis. The output of the gyroscope is derived from detection of these vibrations.
