I can't focus my mind in the presence of a human gyroscope." "I've got to beat it," agreed the other, shaking hands warmly with Mary. "But don't you be taken in by him; he likes to pretend he's slow, but he's really as quick as a buzz-saw. See you soon," and with a final wave of the hand he was gone.
"But she'll be speedy for all of that, for the engine will be very powerful." "Will she be safe?" asked Dick. "As safe as any airship. I am going to incorporate in her my gyroscope equilibrizer, or stabilizer, as you suggested." "Oh, yes, I want that!" said Dick, in a decided tone. "It is very good of you to allow me to demonstrate my patent on your craft," the inventor said.
"Is it really true, Tom," asked the aged inventor, when the story had been related, "are you going to have a try for giant land?" "That's what I am, dad, and I wish you were going along." "No, Tom, I'm getting too old for that. But I did hope you'd stay home for a while, and help me work on my gyroscope invention. It is almost completed."
If there is any blame it attaches to me for not installing the gyroscope rudder. If we had had that when we were caught in the cross current, or the whirlpool swirl, our equilibrium would have been automatically maintained. As it is " He did not finish, but they all knew what he meant. "Bless my soda fountain, Tom!" murmured Mr. Damon, "but isn't there any way of getting fresh air?"
"But part of yours is good; isn't it?" asked Dick. "You can use part of it, I should think." "Very little," was the hopeless reply. "The damage was worse than I thought. My gyroscope attachment is a total wreck, and it will cost money to build a new one." "Yes, and that gyroscope was tampered with before we started on this last flight!" declared Jack, with conviction.
What SHOULD your father be doing but inventing something new, as he always is. I guess he's working on his new gyroscope, though it is only a guess, for he hasn't said ten words to me since I came out to talk to him. But that's like all inventors, they " "I beg your pardon, Mr. Damon," spoke Mr. Swift with a smile, "I'm sure " "Say, can't you listen to me for five minutes?" pleaded Tom.
"But I can remedy that with the use of some of dad's gyroscope stabilizers," he told Mr. Damon. They returned to the hangar safely, and the first trip of the new Silent Sam was an assured success. It was the following day, when Tom was busy in the machine shop installing the gyroscopes spoken of, that Jackson came to tell him there was a visitor to see him. "Who is it?" asked the young inventor.
Those six big jackets in the outer sphere, on the six sides of the bar, cover six pairs of gyroscope wheels, weighing several tons each, turning at a terrific speed in a vacuum.
PENDULUM STABILIZER. In many respects the use of a pendulum has advantages over the gyroscope. The latter requires power to keep it in motion. The pendulum is always in condition for service.
"The gyroscope!" cried Tom. "I didn't bring it. I didn't think we'd need it!" For a moment Earle looked at his commander. Then he said: "Well, perhaps we can make a shift if we can repair the broken rudder. We must have struck a powerful cross current, or maybe a whirlpool, that tore the main rudder loose.
