🔍 Key Concepts

• Gyrocompass system versus a magnetic compass • Purpose and function of gyro repeaters on the bridge and wings • What an electronic servomechanism does in a steering/heading system

💭 Think About

• Think about how the heading information from the master gyro gets to other locations on the ship. Is it mechanical, manual, or electronic? • Consider whether a repeater should depend on the ship moving or on its latitude, or whether it should simply follow the master unit. • Ask yourself which option best matches modern shipboard design and how autopilots/steering gear get heading data.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option correctly reflects that repeaters are slaved to the master gyro and should match its reading automatically. • Eliminate any option that would require the helmsman to manually match or continually adjust the repeater. • Check your understanding of the term servomechanism: does it imply an automatic electronic follow-up system?
