Ship's Engine Order Indicator

A Ship's Engine Order Indicator is a device used on ships to display and control the engine order telegraph system. It is part of the Shipboard Alarm and Signal Systems, which fall under the supply group Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems.

The Engine Order Indicator allows the ship's bridge or control room to communicate with the engine room, indicating the desired speed or direction of the ship's engines. It typically consists of a panel with a series of levers or buttons that can be manipulated to set the desired engine speed or direction.

The indicator also includes visual and audible alarms to alert the engine room personnel of any changes in engine orders or emergency situations. This ensures effective communication and coordination between the bridge and the engine room, allowing for precise control of the ship's propulsion system.

Overall, the Ship's Engine Order Indicator is a critical component of the ship's alarm and signal system, ensuring safe and efficient operation of the vessel.
