of turn employing a vibrating tuning fork type sensor in which the tynes vibrate in a coaxial manner this arrangement eliminates reaction torques and forces at the base of the tuning fork which allows the tynes to freely deflect into an elliptical pattern during an input turn rate sensors are employed which monitor the shape of this elliptical pattern this shape being proportional to angular turn rate application_number US 5564387 A description referring to the drawings fig1 3 and 4 depict various views of the preferred embodiment of the turn rate sensor in general the invention is comprised of a tuning fork whereby the two tynes of the tuning fork are designed and arranged to be cantilever mounted from a common base in a coaxial fashion so that the reaction forces transmitted to the common base by one tyne from either the forced vibration action or as a result of input turn rate are directly counter opposed by equal and opposite forces from the other tyne for the embodiment of fig1 this coaxial arrangement is accomplished by configuring tyne 5 and tyne 4 as shown in fig2 and 3 tyne 4 lies in the y z plane and is fixedly attached to the common base 3 so that its longitudinal axis is coincident with the z axis of the assembly similarly tyne 5 lies in the x z plane and is fixedly.
