DETECTOR UNIT IN WING TIP DEVIATION CORRECTOR 24V. D.C. & 3 ph. 115V. 400. JUNCTION SECOND GYRO UNIT (CO-PILOT) CONTROL (PILOT) Scale apt>rox. one-third full size) S P E R R Y GYROSYN 6. in The Gyro-Magnetic Compass Mk. IV. B (Gyrosyn type IV. B) represents the very latest practice in aircraft compasses. It has been designed to meet the full requirements of pilot and navigator for a compass capable of providing all data necessary for precise aircraft navigation. • Pilot's Gyro Unit, monitored to give accurate dead-beat indication of aircraft's heading at all times. • Navigator's Master Unit, with large - size scale and 1° markings to enable very accurate readings to be taken. This unit permits the navigator to set local variation (up to 180° E. or W.) so that all indicators, repeaters and monitored systems indicate "true" heading. 9 Power Repeater System for monitoring in azimuth ancillary equipment such as Air Position Indicator, Radio Compass, etc. • Incorporates separate azimuth monitoring for Mk. IX (S.E.P. I) Autopilot, complete with navigator's control. • All deviation corrections (A, B and C) carried out at Master Unit and Amplifier. • Sperry Flux Valve (Detector Unit) proved over many thousands of hours of flight operation in both Civil and Military aircraft. There is no magnetic needle, thus eliminating pivot friction and northerly turning errors. G.IV.F Compass The Gyrosyn type IV.F is the latest design for smaller aircraft not requiring power repeaters. It consists of three units only—Detector Unit, Gyro Unit and Amplifier. A control panel can also be fitted if required. MASTER INDICATOR FOR NAVIGATOR
