| General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Other problems:
- I have a real problem with the heavy reliance on 1 source, in particular since it is a self-published source by the company itself. It is a primary source that is almost certainly biased and promotional.

| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Good article, but it really needs more and better sources. An important invention like this must be described in other reliable secondary and tertiary sources. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 18:43, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- @P199: Fixed. Also
- ALT1: ... that Albert Einstein was hired as a technical expert during the trial over the gyrocompasses patented by Anschütz and Elmer Ambrose Sperry?

- Trainer's article is a good addition. Although a few more diverse sources would have been great, it is good enough to pass. I have tweaked ALT1 to make it more concise:
- ALT1a: ... that Albert Einstein was hired as a technical expert during the gyrocompass patent dispute between Anschütz and Elmer Ambrose Sperry?
- Do you agree with this simpler version? -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:40, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @P199: Love it! Do you think the photograph in the article would be suitable for the DYK? Or is it too marginally related? Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:44, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
