The bridge and after steering repeaters are mounted on adjustable brackets. The position of the repeater can be changed so as to allow a full face view of the dial from almost any angle.
The bearing repeater is of great aid to the navigator. The repeater is mounted within the stand and, of course, shows the exact reading of the Master Compass. In taking a bearing on a distant object or a sun azimuth it is not necessary to first set the “dumb” compass to correspond with the main compass. A constant true indication is afforded.
Installation of the bearing repeater can be made in such a position on the upper bridge so that it may be used for steering from that position as well as for taking bearings. A special pelorus stand cover can be supplied with windows to allow steering with the cover on, so as to protect the repeater from spray and the weather.
