	::::More relevant to the Raptor was the next paragraph (my bad). "In aerospace navigation, a gimbal is a device using Euler angles to measure the rotation of an object in three dimensions and to control that rotation. Gimbals used in spacecraft have three sets of three gyroscopes in the inertial measurement unit (IMU), one for each axis (x, y, and z). These gyros provide a stable reference to the vehicle's position and attitude in all three dimensions."--[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 06:56, 13 July 2006 (CDT)		::::More relevant to the Raptor was the next paragraph (my bad).

			::::::Right you are. I can hardly blame them, as I didn't know what a gimbal was before today (and had I transcribed it I may have spelled it like that... if I wasn't such of a "wiki-linker" to go track it down to link it). Pretty handy having the timestamps like that on the transcripts. I added a gimbal note in the "Notes" of [[Raptor]] (unless somebody can find a better home for it), and will delete this article. --[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 07:19, 13 July 2006 (CDT)

	::::A [[wikipedia:Gimbal\|gimbal]] is "a mechanical device that allows the rotation of an object in three dimensions. It is typically made up of a pair of pivots, mounted on axes at right angles, that allow an object mounted on it to remain in a horizontal plane regardless of the motion of its support. Shipboard compasses, chronometers, and even drink holders are typically mounted on gimbals to keep them level to the horizon at all times." I'd say Wikipedia has it covered, other than maybe a link to the wikipedia article on Raptor. (Also I think it is spelled wrong here.) --[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 06:54, 13 July 2006 (CDT)		::::A [[wikipedia:Gimbal\|gimbal]] is "a mechanical device that allows the rotation of an object in three dimensions.
