30. The southward kick of the weight at the " out position " D (Fig. 34) just neutralises the disturbing effect of the northward kick at the " out position " K. 102 THE GYROSCOPIC COMPASS Similarly, the oscillation K A, taken by itself, is exactly equivalent to that shown in Fig. 29 or its modification, Fig. 33. The eastward kick of the weight at A and the westward kick at K cannot do more than turn the mount- ing round the axle of the spinning wheel. They do not tend to change the direction of... the axle. Hence, taken separately, each component oscillation D K and K A is without disturbing effect upon the direction in which the axle is pointing. Taken together, however, their united effect is not the sum of their separate effects, as we might hastily assume. We must not suppose that the north and south kicks proper to the north and south component of the oscillation are without effect upon the east and west component or vice versa. At the out position D of the component oscillation K D the weight is not only kicked southwards, but also receives a west- ward kick from the other component oscillation A K.
