The EU/SV Anzeiger is somewhat similar to the Dumaresq, but not wholly so.  It allows an operator to enter or examine the [[Bearing Rate|bearing rate]]. Curiously, it appears to afford this utility by a design that makes it even more resistant than the dumaresq to integration in a larger mechanism of computation.
