 | | As first explained by M. Schuler in his classic 1923 paper, a pendulum whose period exactly equals the orbital period of a hypothetical satellite orbiting just above the surface of the earth (about 84 minutes) will tend to remain pointing at the center of the earth when its support is suddenly displaced. |
 | | This is the basic principle of Schuler tuning that must be included in the design of any inertial guidance system that will be operated near... |
