The beaTing, pulsing hearT oT The BalTimore mighT well be called her large boilers, and The men who care Tor This hearT-or hearTs, are The men oT The B Division.

. . . and be sure To bring iT back. The EIecTrical Division is responsible Tor The mainTenance and repair oT a greaT varieTy oT eguipmenT which perTorms a maior role in making BALTIMORE one oT The TighTing uniTs oT The TIeeT. The elecTrical insTallaTion is an inTegral parT oT The advanced design which increases The ship's habiTabiliTy and baTTIe eTTiciency. Large dynamos, The hearT oT The ship, send elecTrons Through The greaT maze oT wires which Torm The ship's nerv- ous sysTem. These impulses, direcTly or indirecTly, give The ship iTs senses-iTs eyes, ears and a booming auThoriTive voice respecTed by all. MosT oT The ship's conveniences are powered by elec- TriciTy. Dial phones malce every parT oT The ship immediaTe- ly accessible. ReTrigeraTion oT our Tood is dependenT on elecTrical moTors. These are only a Tew oT The many services conTribuTing To The comTorT oT The crew.
