Sperry Marine is one of the oldest manufacturers of gyro compasses. Its founder, Elmer Ambrose Sperry, was working on the first prototype of the gyrocompass at the same time as Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe was developing his. Eventually the rivalry between these two inventors over the gyrocompass went to court, where Albert Einstein was included as an unambiguous expert.[1] Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine operates in over 15 countries and employs over 500 people.
