Summary
A metal gyroscope, the central disc of which is coloured red, blue and gold. The disc is enclosed between two metal circles, set at right angles. An adjustable screw is fitted at the top of the rod which passes through the centre of the disc. A hole in this rod allows a string to be threaded, to activate the gyroscope.
