DIVISION Vowell, L. M division of the Engineering Dept. is made up of Machinist's Mates. Their responsibilities are many. They operate and maintain the main steam propulsion engines. This includes the turbines, reduction gears, condensers and air eiectors. Also, such miscellaneous auxiliary equipment in the engi- neering spaces as pumps, compressors, evaporators, valves, oil purifiers, gover- nors, and propeller shafts. Throughout the ship, Machinists maintain and repair steering engines, anchor windlass, cranes, winches, galley and laundry equipment. They also keep the refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment functioning. The compressed air, ,water supply and electrical energy produc- tion are maintained by the Machinists. The destroyers, which are along side for maintenance, are also dependent on Piedmont Machinists for many of these services. Without these valuable services, work and movement of the ship would cease.
