Possibly an entirely new concept, or an evolution of the wartime two dimensional plotting system developed by the US Army that I have seen installed in the MB/GPW.

If you have seen a mine flail working, there is no way you can visually see where you are going, to this gyro system would have been the cutting edge at the time.
