steering orders to the steering gear room. The order
and indicating systems associated with this console
are the rudder angle indicator, the rudder order, and
the steering emergency alarm signal. The steering
control console also contains ship's course indicators,
a helm angle indicator, and a steering wheel (helm).
Some steering control consoles also contain a
magnesyn compass repeater.
The helm angle indicator is a synchro receiver
that is connected to a synchro transmitter attached to
the steering gear. It indicates the mechanical position
of the steering gear. The steering wheel (helm) is
used to steer the ship. The magnesyn compass
repeater is maintained by the ship's Quartermasters.
Rudder Angle Indicator
The rudder angle indicator system (circuit N)
provides a means of electrically transmitting the
angular position of the ship's rudder at the rudder

head to designated stations throughout the ship.

The rudder angle transmitter (fig. 10-9) is located
at the rudder head and consists of a synchronous
transmitter mechanically linked to the rudder stock

Single rudder angle indicators are located in the

Rudder Order
The rudder order system (circuit L) provides a
means of electrically transmitting rudder angle
orders from the steering control console in the
pilothouse to the steering gear room when the ship is
being steered from the steering gear room.
The rudder angle order indicator transmitter is
located in the steering control console. The helmsman
operates the transmitter when a change in rudder
angle is ordered by the OOD.
