 | 140k | The internal helm stand of a voice tube on a D-class boat (SS-17/18/19). The watertight door to the torpedo room is seen to the right of the helm wheel. The helm wheel motor is attached via gearing to the transmission shaft, which ran aft to the rudder linkage. Directly above the helm wheel is a mirror into which the helmsan looked to obtain a view of the magnetic compass repeater above. Normal steering was by an electric switch that operated the motor. | The photo is on page 42 of "United States Submarines" by the Naval Submarine League. Photo submitted by Darryl Baker.
