28 OCTOBER 1960 FLIGHT By our standards, bicarbonate of soda is an abrasive To produce the fabulously accurate Inertial Guidance Systems that we manufacture (in partnership with Minneapolis Honeywell) we have had to build a factory unlike any other you ever saw, and put into it devices of a most unusual kind. We do our 'sand'-blasting with bicarbonate of soda—and our production-line inspectors use equipment that other works would be most proud to have in their standards room. We reckon we've got the most advanced facilities in Europe-but then, we are making the most sensitive and accurate instruments in the world. If you have a use for a gyroscope that is so nearly perfect that it only precesses l/20th of a degree per hour, and so sensitive that it can find true North, without any outside aid, to within a few minutes of arc, or if you have a problem involving similar orders of precision-you should come and talk to us.
