ENGINEERS BELL BOOK
The Engineers Bell Book, NAVSHIPS 3120/1 (fig. 12-23), is a record of all bells, signals, and other orders received by the throttleman to change the speed and direction of the ships propellers. Entries are made in the Bell Book by the throttleman (or an assistant) as soon as an order is received. Entries are usually made by the assistant when the ship is entering or leaving port, or engaging in any maneuver that is likely to involve numerous or rapid speed changes. This procedure allows the throttleman to devote his undivided attention to answering the signals. The Bell Book is maintained in the following manner:
1. A separate bell sheet is used for each shaft each day, except where more than one shaft is controlled by the same throttle station. In that case, the same bell sheet is used to record the orders for all shafts controlled by the station. All sheets for the same date are filed together as a single record.
2. The time of receipt of the order is recorded in column 1.
3. The order received is recorded in column 2. Minor speed changes (generally received via the revolution indicator) are recorded in column 2 as the number of rpm ordered. Major speed changes (normally received via the engine order telegraph) are recorded by use of the following symbols:
1/3 - Ahead 1/3
2/3 - Ahead 2/3
I - Standard
II - Full
III - Flank
Z - stop
BEM - Back Emergency
BF1 - Back Full
B2/3 - Back 2/3
B1/3 - Back 1/3
4. The number of revolutions corresponding to the major speed change ordered is entered in column 3. When the order received is recorded as rpm in column 2 (minor speed changes), no entry is made in column 3.
5. The shaft revolution counter reading (total revolutions) at the time of the speed change is recorded in column 4. The shaft revolution counter reading-as taken hourly on the hour while the ship is underway-is also entered in column 4.

Discussion
In Nederland lijkt er alleen een scheepsdagboek en machinedagboek te bestaan (zie https://nvkk.nl/media/fckndak4/jhk-2022-digitaal-def.pdf ).
Als er inderdaad geen Nederlandse equivalenten bestaan zou ik de termen onvertaald laten en een beschrijving tussen haakjes geven.
Is een 'throttleman' een machinist?
Ik denk dat in deze situatie een volgende omschrijving zou kunnen:
Engineer’s Bell Book --> sublogboek met (snelheids)instructies voor de 'throttleman'
Dit logboek kan worden bijgehouden door de 'throttleman', maar vaker door diens assistent, zo lijkt het.
Ik hoop dat er zich een specialist meldt die je uit de brand kan helpen: succes!
