Abstract
In an inertial system for sensing the angular rotation and translational motion of a structure utilizing a pair of accelerometers in a back-to-back arrangement vibrating substantially linearly along an axis normal to their force sensing axes, a mechanism utilizing a parallelogram structure is used to impart the vibratory motion to the accelerometers.
