rate of turn vessel
Abstract: Rate of turn indicator for a nautical vessel, aircraft and the like indicating the rate of turn or swing in units such as degrees per unit of time from a particular course of travel.. Field of the Invention. The present invention relates to a navigational aid or nautical instrument, and more particularly, pertains to a rate of turn indicator for indicating the rate of turn from a course of travel for a vessel or other like vehicle.
The voltage induced in the coils are proportional to the rate of turn of the vessel or vehicle such as a towboat utilizing the rate of turn indicator 10. The bridge rectifiers 63 and 65 rectify the coil voltage to a DC voltage to operate the rate of turn meter.. Field of the Invention. The present invention relates to a navigational aid or nautical instrument, and more particularly, pertains to a rate of turn indicator for indicating the rate of turn from a course of travel for a vessel or other like vehicle.
