Gimbal
\Gim"bal\ (g[i^]m"bal), or Gimbals
\Gim"bals\
(g[i^]m"balz), n. [See
Gimmal, n.]
A contrivance for permitting a body to incline freely in all
directions, or for suspending anything, as a barometer,
ship's compass, chronometer, etc., so that it will remain
plumb, or level, when its support is tipped, as by the
rolling of a ship. It consists of a ring in which the body
can turn on an axis through a diameter of the ring, while the
ring itself is so pivoted to its support that it can turn
about a diameter at right angles to the first.
[1913 Webster]
Gimbal joint (Mach.), a universal joint embodying the
