and identify the yellow gauge in front of the ship's wheel?

It looks like a rudder angle indicator, but it doesn't below there. There should be a magnetic compass there. What probably happened is when the ship was decommissioned the compass was removed and used elsewhere. Someone who doesn't know about bridge equipment mounted the device in the picture on the empty binnacle.

It is the helm indicator showing the position the helmsman has the rudder in. Right goes from 5 to 80 degrees and left the same. Just in front of it is the ships compass with the degaussing ball shown just ahead and to the left.

It's the angle gauge. It's telling you the angle at which the helm or rudder sits.

by utilising playing it wisely. do no longer difficulty, anybody sounds detrimental while they start, or maybe the suited bass gamers get somewhat buzz each now and then. Press the string down in simple terms at the back of the agonize, so it truly is like on the backside of the agonize section. make beneficial the string continues to be pressed down. once you enable go you will likely get some buzz. that takes place with new strings. do no longer difficulty, in simple terms prepare protecting the frets interior the suited suited place and quickly you would be completely sparkling.

It's a form of telegraph for the ships engines the numbers are set to the number of revolutions you want and the engine room will respond with those revs. the one on the wall is a inclanominator which measures how much the ship has tilted.

Its a rudder position indicator

I think it shows you the present position of the ships rudder..

It gives the position (in degrees) of the rudder.

It could be a cluster of instruments. The large black balls on either side are compass compensators.

It tells you how drunk he old guys in the room are. Right now it appears that they are almost half drunk (according to the gauge)
