Description
This is claimed to be ‘the original’ in the sense that it is made in America, by the successors to the firm who first marketed it in 1917. It is entirely metal and smartly packaged with string and stand. Fascinating for children and adults alike, and will balance on the smallest thing while spinning at impossible angles. An excellent tool to teach gyroscopic inertia, the gyroscope will provide hours of creative play. Gyroscopic technology is used in numerous applications of everyday life such as guidance and navigation systems in ships, planes and spacecrafts; in accurate mapping and survey work; in oil drilling and even making movies.. Measures approximately 10 centimetres high. Suitable for children from 8 years and up.
