... that Anschütz built the first gyrocompasses after a failed attempt to navigate by submarine under the polar ice cap in 1898? Source: https://www.raytheon-anschuetz.com/company/history/

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: 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.

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

Yeah, it is a bit marginal. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 19:57, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1a good to go. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 19:57, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
