gyroscopes
Meaning of gyroscopes
plural noun
a device consisting of a wheel or disc mounted so that it can spin rapidly about an axis which is itself free to alter in direction. The orientation of the axis is not affected by tilting of the mounting, so gyroscopes can be used to provide stability or maintain a reference direction in navigation systems, automatic pilots, and stabilizers.
mid 19th century: from French, from Greek guros ‘a ring’ + modern Latin scopium (see -scope).
