CONT

A lane identification meter provides a check on the decometer lane readings and also enables the operator to set in the correct lane values initially.

CONT

The ambiguity of the Decca Navigator system has been resolved in the Mark V (or QM5) receiver by the addition of a fourth dial called a "lane identification meter". Its use enables the operator to set each decometer to the correct lane within a zone. He must still know which zone his ship is situated in, however, in order to set the correct letter on the decometer.
