I don't *think* it continues to swing from an initial impulse.  I think it 
only swings as long as you apply a tiny force (which tries to precess 
against the restraint and the reaction of the restraint causes it to precess 
through another 90 degree angle and that is the direction you happen to be 
pushing).

But experimentation would solve the question.  If I could get a nice 
gyro.....
