Manual targeting in the TDC

What exactly is the ‘Bearing’ dial for in the TDC?

I’ve experimented with the fixed wire method in game. I attacked a two ship convoy moving across at an angle of 55 degrees port. The lead ship was an escort so I let him pass and fired off two torps at the following tanker once he reached my ideal solution. I then fired two at the destroyer. I hoped to hit them both at the same time, however the tanker got hit first. I was watching the torpedoes via the cheat on the map and I think my solution was good on the destroyer, though he twigged after the tanker was hit and jinked.

It’s about time I got rid of the map torpedoes. How is this done?
