The SiRRS01® is a first-generation silicon micro-machined ring gyroscope. This collection of parts is in a blue-lined, black-plastic, samples case labelled: "SiRRS01 - Model". The given dimensions are with all the parts inside this case.
The VSG (Vibrating Structure Gyroscope) on the display stand is: - 80 x 27 x 90 mm & 60g.
The basic VSG component in its small can is: - 18 x 12 x 18 mm & 6g.
The VSG and its support circuitry in the large can is: - 32 x 20 x 32 mm & 28g.
It is likely that SiRRS means: "Silicon Rotation Rate Sensor".
A description of the enhanced SiRRS02 gyroscope is given in the UTC Brochure:
