🔍 Key Concepts

• Follow-up mechanism purpose in a steering gear (feedback that compares ordered vs actual rudder angle) • How a variable stroke pump is controlled: command signal starts motion; follow‑up signal works to return the pump toward null stroke when the order is nearly satisfied • Direction of the follow‑up action: it should oppose the helm command, not reinforce it, so the rudder doesn’t overshoot

💭 Think About

• When the helmsman orders 20° right, what signal causes the pump to go to (or near) maximum stroke: the command signal or the follow‑up? • As soon as the rudder just begins to move off midships, what must the follow‑up be trying to do: increase the rudder movement, or gradually reduce pump output so the rudder will stop at 20°? • If the follow‑up did the same thing as the command signal, what would happen to the rudder angle once it reached 20°?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which device in the diagram is the feedback/follow‑up connected to the rudder stock and trace what it does to the pump control linkage. • Decide whether the follow‑up signal at the start of movement reinforces or cancels the original command signal. • Confirm that the correct choice describes a follow‑up that is moving and is acting in the direction that will eventually bring the variable stroke pump back toward null (zero) stroke when 20° is reached.
