The rotor of the air-driven gyro is mounted in a sealed housing. Filtered air is brought into the gyro housing through passages in the rear pivot, the gimbal ring, and the side pivots. The air then blows against the rotor through two angled nozzles on opposite sides of the housing. The circumference of the rotor is machined with dozens of little bucket-like cutouts which allow the airflow to spin the rotor like a waterwheel (but a whole lot faster). Having done its work, the air then exits through exhaust ports on the lower part of the sealed gyro housing, whereupon it is sucked out of the instrument case by the vacuum pump. 3, record 7, English, - gyro%20housing

Attitude indicator components (vacuum-driven). The rotor, mounted in a sealed housing, spins in a horizontal plane about the vertical axis. The housing pivots about the lateral axis on a gimbal, which in turn is free to pivot about the longitudinal axis. The instrument case is the third gimbal necessary for universal mounting. The horizon bar is linked to the gyro by a lever, attached to a pivot on the rear of the gimbal frame and connected to the gyro housing by a guide pin. 5, record 7, English, - gyro%20housing

On appellera «carter» le solide [...] qui porte le gyro au moyen de paliers A et A'. Cette dénomination de carter est parfaitement adaptée puisque le gyro doit être protégé des poussières et régulé en température. De plus la grande vitesse de rotation présente un danger pour l'environnement extérieur. [...] Le carter s'appelle aussi «élément sensible», car c'est lui qui reçoit directement les effets du gyro et lui seul est vraiment observable. Sa structure sera donc agrémentée d'équipements divers : moteur d'entraînement du gyro, alimentation électrique de ce moteur, capteur de vitesse angulaire axiale [...] 8, record 7, French, - carter
