Description: | This revolutions gauge is from one of the low pressure turbines of the 'Mauretania'. The low pressure turbines drove the two centre propeller shafts. The gauge shows with how many revolutions per minute the turbine rotates and also indicates whether they are propelling the ship ahead or astern. It was made by a Liverpool firm, Chadburn's (Ship) Telegraph Company, who also supplied the bridge telegraphs. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | made in the North East shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
