I have a challenge for all those know-it-all-Tiffies for the next Rocks Run...
Commit the following lecture to memory, we expect to be regaled with your boundless knowledge, when you present it to the masses over lunch...
(Stolen from Chris O'Keefe's Facebook Page...)
Just so you don't have to keep playing the YouTube video repeatedly to commit the presentation to memory, I've taken a transcript for you all to memorise, as follows...
"For a number of years now work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a transmission that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such an instrument is the turbo encabulator.
Now basically, the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive-directance.
The original machine had a baseplate of prefamulated Amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzel vanes so-fitted to the ambifacient lunar wane shaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented.
The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots of the stator; every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible trem'e pipe to the differential girdlespring on the up-end of the grammes.
The Turbo Encabulator has now reached a high level of development, and is being successfully used in the operation of nofer trunnions. Moreover, whenever a farescent skor motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm to reduce soinasodial repleneration..."
Study it well, there will be a quiz after your presentation at lunchtime at 'The Lord Nelson'...
Bloody hell ...... Mick T and I were discussing that very system a few years ago in Glasgow over a few late-night fine single malts!!!! Nothing new!!! Mick T knows all about it!!! I tried to build a similar thing in Greenwich Naval College years ago ...... but Dennis G and myself had trouble getting the proper quality semi-finial progressive thruster linkage assembly to mate with the translucent voible sub-controller!!! Never did work it out!!!

I really don't know why you lot are having so much trouble understanding the basic operation principles involved in this as it was the primary power unit used on the Mk91 Gyro Compass as installed on the Sydney.
Pretty basic stuff actually.

Didn't Naval Stores used to get the Gyro Inverted Sprocket Drive Perambulator confused with the Inverted Perambulator Sprocket D Drive because there was one number difference between the NSNs??

I do believe PW that on this singular occasion to be absolutely correct.

Not sure Pete, but the boxes were the same size and even the same colour, with the handles in the same place. I suppose they got mixed up as every time we would get a spare unit, the bar code on the label was printed upside-down and the system would read the number backwards. So this would correlate with correctly printed number for the Inverted Perambulator Sprocket D Drive. We actually received the correctly ordered part but the Naval Stores System probably thought that we needed the latter unit and as we were ordering them, would requisition the Inverted Perambulator Sprocket D Drive instead of the Gyro Inverted Sprocket Drive Perambulator. Thus there would be a surplus of the Inverted Perambulator Sprocket D Drives in the stores system and they ran out of Gyro Inverted Sprocket Drive Perambulators because none were being used (according to the system).
So in hindsight, I'd say you were quite right about that.
By the way, I did see an Inverted Perambulator Sprocket D Drive in the local Surplus Shop but it was a blue one and probably wouldn't fit.

It appears Chrysler may have improved on the original concept... 
ME... Turns out Rockwell's brought out a model too...
