摘要

A transfer mechanism can rotate a gyroscopic device about its spin axis. The mechanism has a support that rotatably supports the gyroscopic device. This mechanism also has restraint apparatus for holding the gyroscopic device in one of two angularly displaced positions. The mechanism includes also a driver such as a stepper motor for driving the gyroscopic device between the two angularly displaced positions. In one embodiment the input axis of a gyroscope is moveable between a vertical and horizontal position to change the mode of operation from direction finding to north seeking, respectively.
