[StartQuote] Can anyone tell me what sort of steering mechanism was used on the earlier (or perhaps all of) the Elco 80' PTs, starting with the PT103 class? I have crawled all over and inside the restored Elco at Battleship Cove but did not pick up on the details of the steering mechanism. What I'm trying to find out is if the wheel at the helm station controled the three rudders with a cable system, cable and chain, chain, or hydraulic system. The information is for a book I am currently writing that takes place on an 80' Elco in 1943. I will check this board but feel free to contact me directly at cmfaure@earthlink.net . Thanks much. C.
