Question: Why did the guy in the engine room turn that big wheel before throwing the engines into reverse?
Answer: In order to reverse the engines, they have to be completely stopped first. So first they shut the dampers so that the engines slow and turn the wheel to release pent up steam. Then they go into reverse.
