The survey - drafting department of the division is capable of compiling the survey data and making usable navigational charts, Then the photography - lithography section make the neg- atives and can reproduce the charts in quantity if need be. Such things as hand printed signs, photo - stats, Chap1ain's bulletins, ship's letter head -stationery are some of the other items that the group is responsible for.
