The other name that played an other important role in the beginning of Inertial navigation (gyros and accelerometers mounted on "stable platforms") was Max Schuler's formula, first used in 1923, see

There were some pretty smart individuals that paved the way after dead reckoning and celestial navigation proved not exactly the way to go during crossing oceans with any accuracy with fast airplanes.
No matter how long I flew large transports, be it with INS/GPS, I still wondered about seeing a W/V of 277/67 change to 278/67 or 277/68. Realising "something" measured or calculated that change, impossible for the human body to detect.
