New Gyrocompass
2/14/2000
Gyrocompass manufacturer S G Brown Ltd launched its new Meridian high performance system. The new compass has been developed for small, high speed and survey craft. It is designed to meet the needs of vessels working in rough sea conditions or undertaking very fast turns and uses a dynamically tuned gyrosphere which is highly resistant to shocks. This gives the compass the ability to follow rates of turn as fast as 200 deg per second.
