  • a selector switch 33 permits operation in the automatic mode or the manual mode.
  • the switch 33 has been illustrated as a simple mechanical switch, it will be understood that the switch ordinarily would be constructed from a network of solid state switching devices.
  • a voltage selecting network shown as a potentiometer 35 for use in the manual mode of operation provides operator selected voltages having magnitudes comparable to those available from the automatic mode section of the circuit.
  • the stroke order signal may be used to operate a servo which controls the flow rate of a hydraulic pump by positioning a stroke shaft. The output of the pump then controls the speed and position of the fins used to stabilize the ship.
