Of the following, what shipboard system is MOST likely to use the synchronous transmission system featuring a transmitter and receiver?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between continuous position indication vs simple speed/RPM indication • How a synchro (synchronous transmission) system works to repeat an angular position from a transmitter to one or more receivers • Which listed system must show the actual position of a movable part at multiple locations on the ship

💭 Think About

• Ask which device needs to show an exact angular position somewhere else on the ship, not just how fast something is turning • Think about which system is most important for the bridge to see and control in real time during maneuvers • Consider which equipment typically uses mechanical, magnetic pickup, or electronic tachometers instead of synchros

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option involves a control surface position rather than simply rotational speed or count • Recall that synchros are commonly used in remote position indicators (e.g., angle, level, or orientation) • Eliminate options that only need RPM or revolution count and not exact position matching at a remote gauge
