Had to Share

Today, as one of my student's presented her group's research on Geralmo Cardano , she mentioned that Cardano had done lots of work with perpetual motion machines and the spinning things in compasses (her phrases).

So, as she informed the class next, we should call those things on our cars Cardanos, not spinners. FYI.

Well, what are those spinning things in compasses anyway?
