Dr Maximilian Schuler was a German scientist and engineer who published a paper in 1923 on the accelerations experienced in ships' gyrocompasses due to the motion of the sea and showed that they could be eliminated by the use of an electro-mechanical analogue of an Earth pendulum. When the new science of Inertial Navigation emerged in the early 1950s, the concept of Schuler feedback,which had been developed thirty years earlier, was incorporated into the first INs.
