Effects of Electronics on the Marine Gyro Compass

Abstract: Effects of Electronics on the Marine Gyro Compass : A 6 page paper discussing the marine gyro compass that is very close to 100 years old. Used literally for generations in large, high-seas vessels that moved slowly and more evenly than smaller, more maneuverable ships, the latest generations of the marine gyro compass contains electronic components that now are largely standard. These electronic components bring increased stability and reliability to the class of equipment that now is available even for the smallest of fishing boats as well as still being applicable to high-seas ships. Electronic innovations have increased the stability and reliability of the compass class, and made possible autopilot options that are more finely tuned now than at any other time.
