Question 153Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhat controls rudder movement when the Operation Selector Switch shown in figure "A" of the illustration is in the "Controller" position? Illustration EL-0097
Aship's steering wheel
Bnon-follow-up controller
Crate of turn signal
Dgyrocompass
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) non-follow-up controller. When the Operation Selector Switch is in the "Controller" position, the non-follow-up controller is used to control rudder movement. The non-follow-up controller allows for direct, manual control of the rudder without any feedback or position indication, unlike a follow-up controller which provides continuous feedback on the rudder's position. The other options are incorrect because: A) the ship's steering wheel is not used when the selector switch is in the "Controller" position, C) the rate of turn signal does not directly control the rudder, and D) the gyrocompass provides heading information but does not directly control the rudder.
