Abstract

Dear Sir, I must congratulate you on the January 1964 issue of AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING on inertial guidance. The article on the British Scene is the first comprehensive report I have seen of what the various companies in this country are doing and thinking, and makes most interesting reading. Ricsgraf's paper on electrically‐suspended gyros made my mouth water. I don't know whether it was your intention, but by contrasting the state of development and scale of effort in the inertial guidance field here and in the U.S.A., you have well illustrated the points made in the paragraph ‘Brain Drain’ on the following page! Incidentally, I think that this electrical suspension concept is a winner, and that we will be seeing more of it, at least in the very high accuracy applications.
