🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand how a master gyrocompass shares its heading information with other displays on the ship • Know what a repeater compass is and how it stays matched (synchronized) with the master gyro • Differentiate between parts that sense direction (like elements inside the gyro) and parts/systems that transmit or follow that motion to other locations

💭 Think About

• Which option best describes the method of transmitting motion or heading information from the master to other units, rather than a single mechanical part inside the gyro? • Think about which choices sound like individual components of a gyro versus a system or method that keeps distant repeaters aligned with the master • Ask yourself: which term is commonly used to describe the way a repeater compass is kept in step with the master compass’ movements?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice refers to a system that keeps repeaters synchronized with the master heading, not just a local part of the gyro • Check whether the term you pick is associated with remote indication and matching of angles, not just taking an azimuth sight or supporting the gyro element • Eliminate any option that is mainly a physical element inside the master gyro rather than a method for transmitting its indication to other locations
