Abstract
A flux gate unit for producing an output representing the directional orientation of the unit with respect to the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field, and in which a saturable flux gate magnetic core structure is mounted for leveling movement relative to associated flux gate coil means, in a manner enabling maintenance of the core structure substantially continuously in level condition while avoiding the necessity for leveling movement of the flux gate coils, and thereby avoiding the necessity for connection of electrical leads to a movable part.
