Model of Steering Gear, Adriaan Rosel, 1867 - 1868 Canvas Print
Truss model of the port side half of a stern above the waterline, which demonstrates the steering. The stern has an elliptical fence and three decks, all indicated with their web; the upper deck is open. It has a large cruciform screw shaft between stern and screw stems. Just in front of the screw shaft is the drum of the steering wheel on the upper deck. The steering, which runs just below the upper deck, is a mixture of Rapson-slide and lazy wagon. The lower stirring pin, which is moved by the steering gear, is bent to be able to move in the space on the port side of the screw shaft; it is not directly connected to the rudder king, but rotates around its own axis and the movement is transferred to the helms king with two hinges. Between rails, which are arranged between the propeller shaft and the ship's wall, a plate goes back and forth with a bracket loosely around the stem, driven by the steering bar that goes over two discs on top of this plate. Due to the play in the bracket, the stem can follow the movement of the plate, without being hindered in the arc movement it describes. The tension of the steering bar can be controlled with a turnbuckle. The rudder is of the type described under NG-MC-1064. Scale 1:20.
