The Vertical Gyro was supplied by Bendix and was an electrically driven gyro forming the main vertical reference for the autopilot. In addition to providing pitch and roll attitude information, it also provides a signal which is used to give ‘up elevator’ during turns. The Vertical Gyro has an interlock switch to prevent autopilot engagement before the gyro has run up. This unit is missing its top cover but the internal workings can be seen. A second Comparison Vertical Gyro was incorporated in the system to monitor the output from the main gyro.
The rough 190mm x 160mm piece of plywood on which this item is mounted and the 210mm cable are excluded from the given sizes but included in the weight.
