With the single control head version, the levers form one handle
which - when moved- transmits only one signal to control
throttle and gearbox.
The twin control head version provides two levers each of which
is used to actuate independently of the other the throttle and
transmission direction of one propulsion side, port or starboard.
It is possible to synchronize the speeds of the port and
starboard engines automatically by pressing a corresponding
key.
