Axiometru
Definition
An apparatus, technical device, or mechanical or electronic indicator mounted on a ship's bridge, used to continuously and precisely indicate the tilt angle or exact position of the rudder blade relative to the vessel's longitudinal axis. This structural precision instrument is essential for ensuring navigation control, allowing the helmsman to execute delicate steering maneuvers and maintain a stable course.
