The report contains a study of the problem of synthesizing a gyroscopic heading indicator consisting of a gyrocompass and a direction gyroscope. It also contains a demonstration that a gyroscope in a rotating gimbal mount, installed immobily on the ground, can be used to determine the direction of north. (Author)
