Abstract
A method of constructing a rotor for a gyroscopic device is provided comprising fabricating a unitary assembly comprising a rim, a hollow shaft, a hub at each end of the shaft, a web that extends radially inward from the rim to one of the hubs at an angle to a spin axis of the rotor and machining the assembly. A second web may be welded between the rim and the second hub.
