Yes that is correct. In the later us fleet boats there was a button to send the bearing to the TDC from the TBT, but no constant link between them. In earlier fleet boats there was not even TBT, so the bearing was set manually in the TDC by its operator, after the captain called "Mark" and the assitant called the bearing he readed in the graded scale.
