| 383128 | 2005-08-23 06:42:00 | It is a telegraph believe it or not. ;) quote: On a ship, it is a device with a lever for transmitting and acknowledging remotely the orders for engine movements; fitted in the wheel house where the order is given during manoeuvring, the engineers in the machinery space then acknowledge the order and adjust the main engine speed accordingly; the order may vary in steps from "Dead Slow", "Slow", "Half" and "Full" Ahead or Astern |

| 383131 | 2005-08-23 12:21:00 | WHY DOES IT COME BACK 2 THIS WEBSITE? Your link constitutes a hotlink meaning you link directly to files on freewebs server. Basically they redirect traffic back to where it came from when you hotlink. Thanks Jen, that equals the new thing I learnt today. |

Basically they redirect traffic back to where it came from when you hotlink.Thanks sal for clarifying that. It was driving me bonkers trying to figure out why the URL bounced back here and why I couldn't fix it. :) | Jen (38) | ||
| 383133 | 2005-08-23 21:31:00 | It is a telegraph believe it or not. ;) To differentiate from the more commonly used meanings of telegraph, it should be called a "ship's engine room telegraph" or a "marine telegraph". Cheers Billy 8-{) |
