By what means are indications of the master...

🔍 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

By what means are indications of the master gyrocompass sent to remote repeaters?

by transmitter

by azimuth motor

by phantom element

by follow-up system
