Addendum to previous posting:

The machine may have been manufactured by the UC-Berkeley Physics Dept.
using a GE power supply -- I just remember seeing a GE nameplate on the
thing.

The gyroscopes used for inertial guidance in missiles consist of a precision
machined hollow beryllium sphere magnetically levitated in a vacuum.
Pointers to descriptions of the magnetic field used for these devices
and the generation of these fields would be appreciated.  Non-classified
documents, please :-).

Thanks in advance,
