Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
An engine order telegraph or E.O.T., also referred to as a chadburn, is a communications device used on a ship (or submarine) for the pilot on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel at a certain desired speed.

[derekobidowski]

some engine order telegraphs like the titanic ones have a position to give orders to close wt doors and some telegraphs can be used to lower or raise the ship's anchor as the telegraphs on steamships are on the bridge or the aft navigational bridge used for docking maneauvers. as the EOT are used on older steamships with propellers and paddle wheel drives as ships with two to four engines reciprocating and turbine there is a telegraph for each engine as when the bridge gives the order for each engine the engine room personel grants the order and moves the handle on that engine's telegraph to confirm the ordernand adjust the steam engine accordingly. as telegraphs for steam ships are used on ships with coal fired or oil fired boilers.
