What is the name of the mechanism used to transmit torque angle over distance in the illustrated rudder angle indicator system? EL-0092

Correct Answer: Option C — synchronous transmission

Synchronous transmission systems are universally applied in marine engineering to replicate angular displacement between distant locations. Per IEEE 45 and CFR guidelines, synchro transmitters and receivers form an electromechanical link that accurately transmits torque angles without mechanical shafting.
