Description

MK.Es is a small gyro compass which was developed by Tokyo Keiki Seizosho Co. in 1961. It has two types, one of them which is called Mod.1, has been developed for the installation of 85-tons-class fishing boats, the other which is called Mod.2, has been developed for the installation of 250-tons-class fishing boats. Angular momentum of the gyro is comparatively large (0.67×10^8c.g.s.), but its binnacle which 450mm high, and 300mm diameter is very small. As the supporting system of the Es gyro is completely different from the other existing systems, therefore the binnacle of MK.Es is about 1/3 in volume as compared with the binnacle containing the same size gyro with the structure of the existing Sperry-type gyro compass such as MK.E_N.
