Abstract:
A gyro motor supply provides an alternating signal to a gyro hysterisis motor. A detector senses the passage of a reference point on the gyro flywheel during each revolution thereof. A logic circuit is driven by the detector output and controls the phase of the alternating signal thereby ensuring a repeatable gyro start-up condition wherein the phasing is fixed between the reference point on the flywheel and a vector of the rotating field of the motor.
