Default Displacement Gyro

Where can I find information about Displacement Gyros?
I do have several avionics books,but in non of the books is the term
Displacement Gyro. I know that it must be something like a DG or VG , and
it measures a Displacement. What is it used for?

Many aircraft have a Directional Gyro, which is commonly referred to as the
"DG". I've never heard of a displacement gyro.

In the radio controlled heli scene there are heading hold gyros, which
could be described as displacement gyros I guess? They try their best
to be absolute devices (so they apply rudder until the tail is where
it's supposed to be, rather than simply resisting movement) - it's
done in software - effectively doing an integration on the output from
the actual gyro...

I believe a displacement gyro is a position gyro to be differentiated
from a rate gyro like a turn & bank or turn coordinator. So the horizon
and DG would be likely displacemnt gyros. The more common name is "Position
Gyro."

I saw an add where they are offering
Directional Gyros
Vertical Gyros
Rate Gyros and
Displacement Gyros
There must be a difference!
The Displacement Gyros cannot be only a DG or VG.
