The document discusses reversing systems for ships, which can use either an indirect or direct shafting arrangement. The indirect system uses a controllable pitch propeller and gearbox to adjust the pitch of the propeller blades for reversing. The direct system directly reverses the rotation of the engine itself, with clockwise rotation for moving ahead and counterclockwise for reversing astern. It also includes a diagram showing the components involved in a direct system, including a selector valve, servo motor, and fuel cams for switching the engine between ahead and astern rotation.
