My bad!  You are correct, Jim.  I was in the middle of some things and
was thinking of a helicopter rotor which experiences both.  When the
blades flap up or down due to gyroscopic precession (control inputs,
etc.) they also experience Coriollis forces (speed up & slow down)
Sorry.

Actually it's called gyroscopic precession, coreollis effect has to do
with 
the rotation of the earth under a moving object. Can you figure this
into 
the equation as well please.
Jim
