Hello. There is a photograph of the delivery Captain of the Endurance / Polaris standing with a hand on an engine room telegraph. Has anyone any idea where this was placed? I am about to try my hand at making the steering mechanism device, and would want to get the engine room telegraph as correct as possible as well.
