The deviator or Hervé deviator (invented by a Hervé suspected to be Henri-Alphonse-Désiré Hervé) is a ladder-shaped anchor and steering aid for airships traveling over water. By shortening one of the two ropes the water resistance on one side is increased, causing the ship to turn in the direction of that side.[1]
