What is in the maneuvering room?

Maneuvering includes:

1. The cubicle which is where electrical power is distributed. 
2. The large levers direct the power from an engine-generator combination either to the battery charge or to operate the boat. These are separate circuits. When the boat is submerged, the levers are changed to take the power from the battery to operate the boat.
3. Main motors on the lower level to drive the propellors via the reduction gears.There are two motors per propellor shaft.
4. Motor order telegraphs. These receive the orders from the bridge or conning tower for the desired speed.They are then used to acknowledge the orders received and being executed.   There are two units, one for each propellor shaft.
5. Lathe for repairs.
6. Inverters to provide A/C power from the D/C battery or generators.
7. Log (or engineer’s) office. This tiny space is the second largest office on the boat.
