I don't have easy access to my old notes. As I understand it, an AH only has to hang with its access on the local vertical at all times. A DG must spin with its axis horizontal, but the important thing is the DG axis is referenced to a point in space, so are they both 'earth gyros' then? 36 years is a bit long to stretch the memory (which is still referenced to Inertial Navigation Systems!)
