Valeriy V Posted December 8, 2021 Author #632 Posted December 8, 2021 12 hours ago, Dr PR said: It is interesting that the binnacle was tied down with turnbuckles. This is a carryover from sailing ship days when the compass/binnacle was "portable" and normally tied down to eye bolts in the deck with lanyards. Probably before the battle it could be removed from the wheelhouse. This wheelhouse was unarmored and the compass would have been easily destroyed. mtaylor, Keith Black, druxey and 3 others 6 Quote

lmagna Posted December 9, 2021 #641 Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) I owned two vehicles with floor buttons like that, both Chevrolet. On one it was the high/low switch for the headlights.

wefalck Posted January 7, 2022 #645 Posted January 7, 2022 Very nice machining, but I am not sure that I understand, how such stopper worked. There is some sort of hand-wheel, would that actuate a compressor ? mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Keith Black and 2 others 5 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux

wefalck Posted January 7, 2022 #647 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) OK, that's for the cables that control the torpedo-nets (in French they are called after the company Bullivant). However, I have seemed to interpret it correctly that they are compressors.
