744 Whiskey Compass limitations

[NSEU]

Thanks, guys.
If the compass is simply a ball floating a bowl without a pivot point, I'd imagine it would rub against the sides and occasionally stick... unless airframe vibration unsticks it (although there shouldn't be much vibration on the 744).

I might have to observe it during an aircraft tow and see what it looks like during sharp turns. If it's on a pivot, depending on how good the damping is, it should imitate a pendulum. If not, it probably behaves like a balloon in a moving vehicle :P

Thanks.
