The paper under review studies the motion of the infinitesimal gyroscopes along the unduloid's surface together with its limit case of sphere and cylinder. The used method is based on the general approach to the mechanics of infinitesimal test bodies moving in non-flat Riemannian manifolds. \par The main setting is provided by Delaunay surfaces which are remarkable constant mean curvature surfaces. This choice is motivated by the existence of a minimal lateral area at a fixed volume for these rotational surfaces. Also, these surfaces appear frequently in main problems of classical mechanics (as solutions of certain pendulum problems), gas and fluid dynamics (as soap bubble's profiles) and biomechanics.
