Completed work

The tester box has been used to test

the action of the bow anchor and

the forward 38 cm double gun

turret.

If you press the “S2“ button on the

tester box

18-01

(inset), the anchor

test will begin. The two anchor

spools turn first in one direction,

then in the other direction. As a

result, both anchors are lowered a

little and then raised up again.

Depending on the position of the

anchor chain, there may be a slight

delay in starting.

Note:

The test is repeated at short

intervals until you press the “S2“

button again.

The buttons “S3“ and “S4“ on the

tester box

18-01

do not have any

function at this stage. The button

“S3“ will be used to test the bow

light, which will be supplied with

the next stage.

Note:

When not in use, carefully

unplug the tester box

18-01

and

store it safely. It will be used again

and again during the construction

of your model.
