The cardan pivots in the sight housing while carrying both the gyro and cradle assemblies.

Its broad gyro opening and smaller telescope opening distinguish it from the stabilizer’s circular slip-ring cardan.

Casting contours and bearing clearances remain inferred. The isolated view removes the gyro, cradle and connecting rod to expose the frame.

Geometry follows the cited drawings and photographs. Unmeasured dimensions remain approximate; exploded spacing reveals existing model groups rather than a prescribed disassembly procedure.
