Hmm, You may be right. I wonder if Laguna was trying to use gyroscopic
precession as a possible caveat. Tom


My point is that "gyroscopic precision" can be above and beyond what is
required for the machine to run properly.

It's like putting a 5hp motor on a bandsaw and stating "Don't consider
buying a bandsaw unless it has a 5 hp motor".

A 5hp motor isn't necessary and neither is "gyroscopic precision".
