My father said it was a tool, maybe a type of drill? I can't remember, unfortunately.  Sarah Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Smartphone ------ Original message------From: Richard Fischer via Callers Date: Thu, Jan 28, 2016 1:34 PMTo: Andrea Nettleton;Cc: callers@lists.sharedweight.net;Subject:Re: [Callers] Walk around, ease around etc. The Oxford English Dictionary gives both pronunciations for "gimbal" with the "soft" g first:   /ˈdʒɪmbəl/ /ˈɡɪmbəl/ I followed their etymology trail, and it seems to ultimately come from a word meaning "twin."

I like Gimbal for that reason. Just checking, it’s pronounced “gym-bal” right? There was one other playful suggestion sometime in the past couple of weeks, in addition to gyre, but try as I might, I just can’t find it in the rich flow of email on this topic, so if someone wants to re-nominate it, with the goal of a rememberable and playful name in mind, please do. I know that indicates it’s not passing the rememberability test for me at the moment but, to be fair, I was just skimming on a work night when it flew by.

I hope I'm not alone in this desire, though I know we are often of very diverse opinions as a group.
