    Description

    New Honeywell Golden Gnat Gyroscope. You can search about the workings and sample circuits on Google, but here is an example: https://www.etotheipiplusone.net/?p=428, http://www.decadecounter.com/vta/articleview.php?item=902, https://www.mavin.com/pdf/golden-gnat.pdf
    Copied from decadecounter.com: "
    The Honeywell GG440 Golden Gnat rate gyroscope was a common feature of Cold War-era military guidance equipment. The GG440 and its direct descendants were used in the F-104, F-4, F-15 and F-16 aircraft, as well as numerous radar and missile systems.
    It appears that Honeywell no longer produces these devices, and legacy support is provided by the military contractor US Dynamics.
