This photo shows the rack operating rod (lower rod) and
the Variable Injection Timing linkage going into the fuel
pump.
In an emergency, for instance in the case of a control or governor failure, the engine can be changed to local control. The
engine can then be stopped, started, reversed and the speed controlled from the local control station. The two pictures
below show the layout of the control station.

To start and stop the engine locally the safety locking pins must be removed and the local /remote start lever moved to the
emergency position. The engine can be started and reversed from the local control position to telegraph orders shown on
the local control panel. The operator is now the engine governor. He cannot leave the control station and must pay close
attention to the engine revolutions which he now controls with the hand control wheel.
