🔍 Key Concepts

• Gyrocompass basic parts – especially what actually senses north vs. what transmits or supports it • Difference between a sensitive element and mechanical supports/linkages in a gyro system • What part the compass card must be attached to in order to display the ship’s heading correctly

💭 Think About

• Think about which part of the gyro physically aligns itself with true north and therefore must carry the heading indication. • Ask yourself: does the compass card need to be directly on the sensing part, or on something that just transmits motion from that sensing part? • Eliminate any parts that are clearly electrical pickups or mechanical link arms that only transfer movement rather than do the actual sensing.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option names the actual sensing/true-north seeking unit of the gyrocompass. • Confirm which parts are mainly for electrical signal pickup or mechanical linkage, not for mounting the card itself. • Make sure the part you choose is the one that would most directly and accurately represent the gyro’s true heading without extra intermediate motion.
