The artificial horizons described in this chapter are air-driven, blind flying instruments which provide the pilot with a continuous indication of the attitude of the aircraft in pitch and roll. Three of instruments are described, Mk. 1B (Ghoresent) (Ref. No. 64/1519), Blk 1B Gi nous) (Ref. No. 64/1498) and the Type HLL. (fluorescent) (Ref. No. 64/2876). The. latter the civilian version of the Mk. 1B and is similar in all respects with the exception that a Sperry type pendulous unit is employed, instead of the Smith type pendulous unit fitted’ to the Mk. 1B instruments. “The construction of the two types of pendulous uit i similar, and the following description is applicable to both the Mk. 1B an. the Type H.L.2 instruments, Fig. 1.

The natural horizon is represented by a single bar moving over'a dial or skyplate. ‘Ths fomats horizontal at all times to provide a reference in roll, and moves up and down the instrument dial to give indications of dive and climb, respectively. 3. The presentation is completed by a miniature ‘aeroplane fixed centrally in the dial of the instru- ‘ment, and a pointer which moves over a scale on the lower part of the dial to indicate angle of roll. 4. The instrument has a pitch freedom of 60 de; in climb and 60 deg in dive, and freedom in roll of 90 deg left and 90 deg right. Principle 5. The principle of the gyroscope and its applica- tion to artificial horizons is fully described Chapter 1 which explains how the horizon bar is made to represent changes in aircraft attitude with respect to a fixed aircraft image. DESCRIPTION Rotor assembly 6. The rotor assembly consists of an air-riven rotor wheel, a rotor case pivoted on its transverse axis and a pendulous unit which functions as a gyro erection device. 7. The rotor is a dynamically balanced whee! carried on a vertical shaft with toroidal pivots mounted in two five-ball cageless bearing races. ‘The periphery of the rotor is machined to form buckets which register with two diametrically RESTRICTED opposite air jets. Lubrication is by oil, and oil reservoir pads ensure adequate lubrication through- ‘out the instrument life. The rotor bearings are shrouded by cylindrical skirts which prevent the ingress of dust, and prevent the circulating ait in the instrument from passing over the bearing surfaces. ‘The fixed lower bearing is carried in a recess in the bottom of the rotor case, whereas the upper bearing is carried in a housing which is loaded within the top cap, to compensate for differential expansion between the rotor shaft and rotor is ensures that the instrument vill operate saisfatonily between 55 and “70 deg C. The rotor spins in a clockwise direction when viewed through the base of the rotor case. ‘Two resilient stops are mounted on the top of the rotor case and limit the instrument freedom in Pitch, 8. A pendulous unit, attached to the base of the rotor case, inclines the rotor axis with the top 2} deg forward in the line of flight and } deg to the left. “This completely compensates for turn and acceleration errors during a Rate 1 turn at 260 Knots and to a lessening extent at other rates of turn and speeds. The pendulous unit consists of 1 body each of whose four sides hasa slot controlled bby a vertical vane, so that the vanes bisect the slots ‘when the gyro axis is at the correct inclination. In this condition, exhaust air from the rotor casing is discharged equally in four directions, so that the reactions, being equal and opposite, equilibrium is maintained. “Diametrically opposite vanes are clamped to opposite ends of a common spindle carried in plain bearings within the walls of the Bendulous body with the end thrast taken on bal rings. SkY PLATE Rowe BEARING HORIZON ‘Ban BANK ANGLE POINTER BUMPER Horizon bar and gimbal ring 9. The rotor assembly is mounted transversely within the gimbal ring in oil-lubricated toroidal pivots and bearings which are fitted with oil reservoir pads. pivots and bearings are arranged so that on one side the bearing race is accommodated in the rotor case and engages a pivot screwed into the gimbal ring, whereas on the other side the pivot is attached to the rotor case and engages & race carried in an adjustable housing within the gimbal ring. This arrangement provides for the air passages to the rotor through an air pivot on one side and clearance for the ‘actuating pin projecting from the rotor case through fan arcuate slot in the other side of the gimbal ring. The gimbal ring is of rectangular section allows the rotor assembly freedom in pitch from 60 deg climb to 60 deg dive, At these [ integral flanges on the gimbal ring contact resilient stops mounted on top of the rotor case. ‘The gimbal ring is pivoted fore and aft in the instrument case and has freedom in roll of 90 deg left and 90 deg Might. On the Mk. 1B instrument, movement in is limited by stops, and on the HLL he sop are yt form of rabber bumps The air pivot adjacent to the rear cover forms the connection between the air inlet on the rear cover end the air passage in the gimbal ring. The front pivot is mounted on an integral bracket of the as and engages a bearing race carried inthe front of the gimbal ring.

Sectional plan of artificial horizon, Type Mk. 1B or fluorescent compound. The horizon bar is an accurately balanced assembly, pivoted in plain bearings on the side of the gimbal ring, and is slotted to engage the actuating pin projecting from the rotor case. The pointer portion of the bar is set at right angles tothe bar and pases across the dial, Case and bezel assemblies 11, The bezel assembly is secured to the case by six c/s head screws and includes the front glass, retained by a spring circlip, and a dial ring which is riveted to the bezel casting. ‘The dial ring is graduated to indicate 30 and 60 deg of roll on cither side of the datum, and incorporates a central arm which terminates in the silhouette of a ‘miniature aircraft. Finish is in matt-black, with the miniature aircraft and bank scale graduations {weated with luminous or fluorescent compound. Four integral comer lugs on the bezel form the instrument mounting to the flight instrument panel and are fitted with self-locking anchor nuts. 12, The case is in the form of a cast light-alloy eylinder, enclosed at the end by the rear cover. The instrument cannot be caged after installation but a shipping lock is provided for use during transit. This consists of a leaf spring riveted at ‘one end to approximately midway along the inside ‘of the instrument case. When not in use, the spring rests against the side of the case clear of instrument mechanism. To apply the shipping lock, the mechanism is cent ind the blanking screw on the underside of the case substituted by a longer lock screw. When the lock screw is fitted, the spring is brought into contact with a rubber pad attached to the base of the pendulous assembly. 13. The rear cover incorporates three alternative ‘connection ports for the vacuum supply and ‘carries the rear bearing of the gimbal ring mounting. Peripheral holes around the bearing housing connect with the two gauze inlet screens and the air filer assembly mounted on the rear cover. The filter assembly consists of a V.P.1. impregnated gauze and felt disc retained in the flter housing by 4 spring circlip, the housing being attached to the rear cover by four ch/hd. screws. SERVICING 14. On starting the aircraft engines, the horizon bar should settle to the datum position in not more than 2 min. from the time that the vacuum gauge registers 3} in. Hg. 1S. At periods detailed in the relevant Servicing Schedule, the instrument should be removed from the aircraft and the filter element renewed. ‘Standard serviceability test 16. Prior to installation and at any time when the serviceability of the instrument. is suspect, the instrument should be subjected to the tests detailed in Appendix 1 to this chapter. RESTRICTED Fs/I ALARA, Vol Sect. 13, on. GE ae Appendix 1 STANDARD SERVICEABILITY TEST FOR ARTIFICIAL HORIZON, Mk. 1B AND TYPE H.L.2 Introduction 1, The tests in this Appendix must be applied to the above instruments immediately prior to installation in aircraft and whenever their service ability is suspect. The tests are also to be applied at inspections made at Equipment Depots. ‘The Tolerances apecied must not be exceeded. ‘TEST EQUIPMENT 2. The equipment to be used in this test is the gyro instrument test table, Mk. 4 (Ref. No. 8/1566). Note... ovvarad forall, wih the tata deer ee ‘frequently with the vacuum indicator Mie 2A (Ref. No. 6C/S26), which i 10 Be connected to one of the spare connections at the rear of the insirument when carrying out this comparison. METHOD OF TEST 3. Unless otherwise stated the tests must be carried out with the instrument mounted in its normal position on the gyro test table. The normal position is that in which the plane of the mounting. face of the fixing flange is vertical, and the centre line. passing through the top two fixing holes is horizontal to within } deg. 4. Except where otherwise stated, the suction in the instrument case must be ‘maintained at 3h din. Hg. 5S. Before commencing the tests, the outer filter ‘must be examined for cleanliness’ and a new filter clement fitted if necessary. The pressure drop across the filter must not exceed } in. Hg. 6. Ifa shipping lock is fitted, this must be removed Sd replaced by the short Blanking screw provided EXERCISING 7. Before any tests are applied the instrument must, be exercised as follows :— (1), Set the test table to produce roll, pitch, and yaw over a total arc of 15 deg at 6-10 oscillations per minute, with the direction of rotation reversing at one minute intervals. (2), With the gyro running, start the table motor and exercise the instrument under these con- ditions for 15 minutes. (3)_At the conclusion of this period, re-level the table and lock in the horizontal plane by locking knob A and releasing knob TESTS Rotor starting test 8. (1). Reduce the suction to 1} in. Hg. by means of the suction regulator. 2) Without altering the setting of the suction regulator, cut off the suction to the instrument and allow the rotor to come to rest. (3) Re-apply suction at 14 in, Hg. for 30 sec. Rotate the instrument about the roll axis until the stop is reached. Check that with further movement about the roll axis the gyro precesses about the pitch axis, indicating that the rotor is running. (4) Re-apply suction temporarily, and adjust the suction to 3} in. Hg. Settling test 9. (1) With the gyro stationary, quickly appl full suction ‘of 3 in. He. Check that the horizon bar and roll pointer settle to. within 4 in. of their datum within 2 minutes. (2) _If the instrument fails this test, two further attempts must be made. Provided that it is within tolerance on both these further tests, the instrument is fit to be subjected to the remaining tests. Erection tests 10.) With the srument runing at normal Speed, precess rolling the case counter clockwise about its horizontal axis unt the horizon bar is raised approximately | in, above the datum and then return the instrument to the normal position. (2) Check that the time taken for the horizon bar to return from j in.to #y in. above the datum is 1} to 4 minutes. ‘The horizon bar must not deviate more than $ deg in roll during this test. (3). Repeat the test but roll the instrument clockwise to lower the horizon bar. The erection times must be within the tolerance stated in para. 10 (2) but must not differ from those obtained in 10 (1) by more than 80 seconds. RESTRICTED 11.
