Sperry Gyroscope Company is an American manufacturer of gyroscopes and aviation navigation instruments, founded in 1910. As a corporate author, it is represented in the library by only one work, The Sperry Gyro-Compass, which deals with the principles, construction, and applications of the gyrocompass and belongs to the technical literature of marine and aerial navigation. Public information is limited, so the company's full history, staffing, and publishing output cannot be reliably established; the present introduction can only sketch its profile from the library record and a small amount of widely known general knowledge. What can be confirmed is that the organization was engaged in instrument manufacturing, that its work addresses professional readers, and that it served to explain and promote navigation technology, giving its technical writing a distinctly engineering-oriented direction.
