FSP 100 stable platform for the TSR2 aircraft project, Britain's first attempt to use gyroscopes to provide a steady reference platform for the measurement of aircraft movements, by Ferranti Limited, Moston, Manchester, 1966

This apparatus was built in the 1960s for the TSR2 aircraft project, and was Britain's first attempt to use gyroscopes to provide a steady reference platform against which the aircraft's movements could be measured. A stable platform is the essential ingredient for the construction of a totally enclosed intertial navigation system.
