The two MRs have a cross connect between them that goes through what space?

• A. Auxiliary MR
• B. Main MR
• C. Engineering spaces
• D. Forward morse room

Answer: (A)

The path between the two motor rooms is routed through the Auxiliary Machinery Room because this space is designated for interconnecting gear and wiring that ties the main and auxiliary propulsion systems together. Keeping the cross-connection in the Auxiliary Machinery Room centralizes the wiring in a controlled area, making maintenance safer and easier and reducing interference with the main propulsion equipment. The other spaces aren’t set up to carry these interconnections: the main motor room houses the propulsion machinery itself, engineering spaces is too broad, and the forward Morse room is for signaling, not propulsion interconnections.
