This is claimed to be 'the original' in the sense that it is made in America, by the successors to the firm who first marketed it in 1917. It is entirely metal and smartly packaged with string and stand.
Produced since 1917, the gyroscope has been a classic educational toy for generations. It continues to fascinate young and old alike with its mysterious force that seems to defy gravity. Each gyroscope is packed in a clear styrene box with starting string, pedestal and instructions for several amazing tricks.
A gyroscope is a device which demonstrates the principle of conservation of angular momentum, in physics.
The essence of the device is a spinning wheel on an axle. The device, once spinning, tends to resist changes to its orientation. The gyroscope was invented and named in 1852 by Leon Foucault for an experiment involving the rotation of the Earth.
