The housing 12,14 has opposing poles 50, 52, apertured at 59, and slotted at 58, so that the toy may be threaded on a wire or stood thereon, or alternatively a pole 50 or 52 may be received in a concavity 48 at the top of a post 46 carried by base 45. To demonstrate the use of a gyroscope in gimbals, a yoke 60 is flexed so that trunnions 62 thereon engage apertures 66 in the housing 12, 14 the yoke 60 having a bearing 64 which is freely rotational fit about the upper part 68 of post 46.
