Abstract
A gyro having a liquid hydrostatic bearing includes an integral liquid hydrostatic suspended pendulum arrangement which senses the direction of the gravity vector of the gyro housing. The configuration described provides close coupling of the hydrostatically suspended pendulum arrangement, which is in effect a level sensor, and the gyro input axis, the same being essential to precise gyrocompassing applications.
