Abstract
A disc-shaped member-to-be-aimed is mounted for tilting about two mutually perpendicular tilt axes rotatable about a third and mutually perpendicular boresight axis that affords a conical field of view for the member in the presence of any asymmetry in its tilting about the tilt axis. A multi-gimbal assembly accommodates such multiple-axis movement freedom, and torque motors disposed in an axialwise direction at one side of the member-to-be-aimed affords radial compactness for the gimbal assembly.

Stabilized radio direction finder and homing device

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a radio direction finder for dirigible vehicles, such as aircraft and ships. But their main object was to improve the performance of radio directions by reducing the errors produced by pitching and rolling or banking of the craft on which they were mounted.
