@tubetime Oh I'd love to see the inside of the 'platform adapter' - I assume that's an analogue computer?

@tubetime : Nice noise !

@tubetime The whole thing has to sit inside a temp. controlled "oven" like an old Sperry Univac mercury delay line memory.
`These components are placed within the Component Oven at 71 °C. Also the gyros and accelerometers are kept at 71 °C ± 1.1 °C. The ambient atmospheric temperature inside the platform is maintained at 51.7 °C by a set of heaters and a circulating fan, and a motor driven cooling air valve controlling the flow of pressurized air through the double walled platform cover.`

@tubetime Further down the article it mentions how the pilot would get the navigator setup before a flight. Switch would be set from Off to Standby.
`In this mode the platform and component oven are brought up to operating temperature; indicated by the "heat" light on the IN Control Panel, which takes several minutes depending on outside and system temperatures.`

@tubetime And apparently the drift on this thing was very usable over long distances.
`In November 1965 a LN-3 system was installed in a prepared Flying Tigers Boeing 707 (the Pole Cat) to conduct a pole to pole 51 hours flight, and compare its performance with other means of navigation. The quoted error at the South pole was 2 miles.`

@tubetime I need to build a balancing robot big enough to use this.....

@tubetime My father was an engineer for Litton from 1961 to 1994. He worked on analog INS all the way to ring laser gyros. Cool stuff. Early career was F-4's and A-6 intruders. Then F-14s and S-3s. Last was OV-1 Mohawk. I still have his copy of Bowditch's American Practical Navigator.

@carpetbomberz you can see the orange patch heaters on the center part of the gimbal

@tubetime TIL and painfully realized that the artificial horizon is also connected to this.
I always thought these worked way differently (most primitive way would be a ball suspended in liquid), but of course I failed to realize that the accelerations endured even in casual flight would probably make that attitude indicator so ridiculously inaccurate, one would be better off without one.
And it's also called a gyro horizon in english, TIL again. -

@fucinafibonacci @attualita L'immagine, come tra l'altro avevo anche scritto nell'alt text, è ripresa dalla locandina originale del film "Bulli e Pupe". L'ultimo personaggio sulla destra è Vivian Blaine. Era scontato che per utilizzare quel ruolo Natangelo dovesse in qualche modo mantenere l'abbigliamento indossato da quell'attrice altrimenti sarebbe mancato il collegamento.
Il volerci vedere qualcos'altro è solamente frutto di preconcetto o malafede nei confronti dell'autore della vignetta.

@oblomov i giochi di parole si possono fare in tutte le lingue: si potrebbe parlare di commiato per la pace :D
