fi: Did you ever stop to think how much electricity BREMERTON can produce? lf not, you'll probably be surprised to hear that she can produce enough electrical power to maintain a city of 70,000. With all this electricity, there must be men who are skilled in its use. These men are the men of Echo Division. This Engineering division consists of some 25 electrician's mates and ten interior communications electricians. Although both ratings are in the same division, their iobs are entirely different. The EM's install, maintain and repair the main emergency generators, electric motors, searchlights, yardarm blinkers, general lighting and power distribution sys- tems. The lC men have an entirely different iob. Their work consists of the upkeep and maintenance of synchro units, gyro compasses, the shlp's service and sound powered telephones, motion picture equipment, lC ond alarm circuits Supervising and coordinating this varied work are LTJG R P Waldron and CWO J Dehnbostel keeping the two teams ready to answer any situation which arises herbold, e. o. ayers, g. e. bailey, d.l. ball, p.
