Which item is designed to show the position...

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rudder position vs. steering mechanism – which device tells you where the rudder actually is, not how it is controlled • Difference between control systems (what you move on the bridge) and indicating systems (what gives feedback) • Common bridge equipment names: telemotor, follow‑up gear, indicators, and their purposes

💭 Think About

• Which of these items provides visual feedback to the helmsman or officer about the actual angle of the rudder, regardless of the order given? • Which of these is mainly part of the hydraulic or mechanical steering control system, rather than a display instrument? • Think about what you would look at on the bridge to confirm that the rudder has moved to the ordered angle.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice explicitly refers to angle or position display rather than a control or transmission device • Ask: "If I lost this item, could I still move the rudder, or would I only lose the indication of its position?" – the correct item mainly affects the indication • Confirm which term is most commonly used on bridge equipment panels marked in degrees port and starboard
