The
Bell Book is maintained by bridge personnel in ships and craft equipped with
controllable reversible pitch propellers, and in which the engines are directly
controlled from the bridge. When control is shifted to the engineroom, however,
the Bell Book is maintained by the engineroom personnel. The last entry made in
the Bell Book on the bridge indicates the time that control is shifted; and the
first entry made in the Bell Book in the engineroom indicates the time that
control is taken by the engineroom. Similarly, the last entry made by engineroom personnel indicates when control is shifted to the bridge. When the Bell Book is maintained by the bridge personnel, it is signed by the officer of the deck (OOD) in the same manner as prescribed for the EOOW. Alterations or erasures are not permitted in the Bell Book. An incorrect entry is corrected by
Figure 2-2.Engineers Bell Book, NAVSEA 3120/1. drawing a single line through the entry and recording the correct entry on the following line. Deleted entries are initialed by the EOOW, the OOD, or the watch supervisor, as appropriate. |
