Maybe he has financial troubles. Or, most likely, he's an l. C. Electrician from E division thinking about those two hundred plus sound-powered telephone circuits he and his division is called upon to keep tit and ready for use any time the ship has need ot them. Ventilation, lighting, the showing ot movies, and keeping the public announcing system in tune are all Echo Division respons- ibilities. Thirteen hundred electric tans and nearly two thousand electric motors are also nursed along by the Electricians ot E Division. The pit log, which measures the ship's speed through the water, is theirs too. Men have long since ceased to marvel that at the pressing ot a button a light will shine. But marvel they might it they had a clearer understanding ot the processes involved in inducing electricity from steam, nudging an electron along thousands ot feet ot wire, and producing that instantaneous light. lt you don't think that sailor has good reason to look wisttul, iust ask Chiet Cameron, or Feldhake EMT, about his iob.

What happens to the steam supplied by B Division is up to Mike Division. The ship's two engine rooms and main propulsion engines, plus the auxiliary machinery needed to power the ship, are the Mike-men's responsibility. The end result of their efforts is the rotating of Bremertoifs four screws upon orders from the bridge. Bremerton's fresh water is also supplied by these Snipes, with the O main evaporators in the foreward engine room and the emergency evapo- rators aft. They keep the boilers and fresh water tanks well supplied. Thanks to their efficiency, Bremerton hasn't yet found it necessary to go on water hours. Chief Cobb and Chief Lintz direct the Machininst Mates' work in the two engine rooms, with the valuable assistance of Tyree, MMT, and Walton, MMT. LTJG Fullenwider relieved ENS Ryan as Division Officer in February. FRONT ROW lleft to rightjn Bunch, D. W., Navarro, A. B., Hansford, G. B., Lilly, K. D., Walton, W. T., CHMACH J. E. Tyrel, Chief V.
