  • Very interesting, very well done video!

    When reversing, the large wheel spins pretty fast for a few seconds, automatically. Could be dangerous for those not expecting this.

  • Thanks!

    The wheel don´t start automatically - it´s manouvered by the little lever behind the wheel.

  • Carl; Gosh guy,,,thank you sir for posting this video.I certainly wish there were others willing to post video,s that have engine room funtions to them.If a person were then able to see enough of these type then they would in the end,be able to understand just how a ships engine room functions.I and many others are curious as to how they do funtion yet there just are not enough places or video,s to take in,in order to gain this knowledge.Thanks again carl,,much,much appreciate your video sir.

  • wow really awsome

  • talk about fly-by-wire :D

  • Nice engine!!

  • Amazing!

  • 5*****

  • excellent video!

  • yeah, not many engines are controlled locally now as a normal practise because they mostly have electronic governors. .

  • So, what is that wheel that has to spin so fast? A valve? Very interesting video.

  • i've never seen how the telegraph operates, my father talked me about it and how it works, but this video shows the real thing. thanks a lot.
