- I ran across an ad/article about a very small (golf ball size) gyro
- a few months ago and posted information to this group. Since that time I
- have mislaid the orginal article. If any one out there is archiving this
- group, could you please look back and see if you can resurrect my orgianl
- post. This gyro (if memory serves) was real cheap, i.e. about 1-200 dollars
- and was extremely small.

- In the mean time I'll dig through my paper archives and see if I can
- find the orginal.
