Repeater
From The Dreadnought Project
The Repeater is a British fire control data receiver placed in control positions aloft and in the Gun Control Tower[1] which displayed the enemy's inclination, speed and range rate in use on the Dreyer Fire Control Table.[2]
It is not clear when these devices were introduced, and in what number. It was likely not available until well after Jutland, as it relied on the presence of a rate transmitter on the Dreyer table to provide it with range rate data, and there is no indication of this device even in the schematics for the most advanced Dreyer tables featured in the 1918 Handbook.[3]
