Located in Brooklyn, NY
Manually manipulated blue and silver anodized aluminum gyroscope composed of two gimbal rings, a central rotor, spine axle, frame and base (ca. late 1940s/early 1950s, USA).

The gimbals denote "elevation" and "roll."
Interesting piece which serves as both scientific tool and modernist decorative object...
