Hello! This gyro can not be from T50 light tank because it was designed in 1941 and produced only in 1941-1942. This is even not from tank :) This gyro is from military topographic car УАЗ 452Т [UAZ]. I tried to add photos, but youtube deletes comments with links. However, they are easy to find. Arretir is from french arrêt. Arretir signal most likely goes to contact which detects gyro fixation, which you showed.
good russian pronunciation, haha. "сигнализация арретира" is most likely a break system that fixes the gyro in a safe position (potentially before shooting or transportation?). this signal basically turns the device off temporarily to preserve it. this is just a guess, but i think this signal is used to orient the gyro so that when the electromagnet is powered off, the gyro is in a "good" position to be held
Curious about this second gyro. Is it meant to keep or align to a level platform parallel to the earth surface since a tank only moves in 2d space? If both top and bottom gyro's are spinning it gives some interesting dynamics I would imagine.
Soviet shit! I've seen plenty of it at the university...And I've heard from one of the professors (who previously worked at military factory) of workers hammering in small screws instead of using screwdrivers because screws were too small! (M1.0 or M1.2 threads). Stupid stuff... May be interesting for a French engineer however.

Thank you for the information!
The point of this is to maintain a certain UP angle? For what, for distance around the globe?

A beauty!

i think was used for t-80 tank but I not know
hello, C'est du costaud !
That's funny. The compass is heated but the soldiers are not lol.
There are no soldiers in a tank. May be except those who came to bum a cigarette.
