Isn't this a bit too much of a satellite article? There's no actual information here other than mentioning that it exists. I dont think there is enough data to make this into its own article and therefor should just be mentioned on the Raptor page. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 04:16, 13 July 2006 (CDT)

Gimble is like a balance "detection device". Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 06:23, 13 July 2006 (CDT)

A 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.) --Steelviper 06:54, 13 July 2006 (CDT)
