Canisteo Power and Lighting Whereas the HT ' s work with metal, and the YN ' s and PN ' s work with paper, the EM ' s work with electrons. Electrons are too small to see, but they work hard for you. Your electric razor, the ship ' s lighting and our CHT system all depend on electrons. While inport you can usually find electri- cians doing PMS on the many equipments we use day-to-day. While underway you will find them doing more PMS, standing switch- board watches or answering trouble calls throughout the ship. They maintain all the motors, generators, controllers and lighting that we take for granted. When we pull into port, happy to see our girlfriends, wives and families, the electri- cian stays behind to pull shore power. Then you still have ail the conveniences of home, even while inport. The next time you listen to your radio, watch TV, get a cold drink of water or read a book by your rack light, think of the electri- cian working hard and long hours to give you that power. CP L — We light up your life. Tlie ICMen They make the IMC work, and if the IMC doesn ' t work, then the IMC makes them work, . . . likewise with the sound-powered phones, and with the dial telephone, and with the steering control system, and with all the alarms and warning systems, and with the salinity indicators,and with CCTV, and with the gyro (Oh no, not the gyro!). The IC-Men enjoy the habit of assuming responsibility for things that are fairly small, but which stretch throughout the ship. This means that once they ' ve found the prob- lem, they can just put it in their pocket and carry it back up to the IC Shop to tinker with. Until they ' ve found the problem, that is. The problem could be in one place, or it could be on the other end of the ship, or it could be somewhere in the middle. It ' s all part of a day ' s work, they say. The causes are varied. Sometimes it ' s be- cause the sound-powered phones weren ' t stowed properly, or because somebody plugs their phone into the wrong circuit, or, as is frequently the case,the batteries simply go dead.

Who would believe that it takes thirty people to boil water? But how many people boil water with pots and pans with ainnost four thousand square feet of heat transfer area per pot? And how many people have to clean the soot off of one side — and the chemical buildup off of the other side — of every one of those four thousand square feet on each of four such pots? Three or four times a year? Boiler techs indisputably make up the hardest working division on the ship. They (along with the machinist ' s mates in the en- gineroom) are the original hull snipes; if it wasn ' t for the sun coming down through the outer stack, they ' d never see the light of day, But when the burnerman inserts the torch and lights the fires, BTs bring life to the heart of the plant. (Who would believe that with all the wa- ter that they boil in the fireroom, CANISTEO ' s BT ' s have the coldest space below decks on the ship in the wintertime?) These men boil water, and CANISTEO goes. And as long as they have a cigarette lighter, these BTs will guarantee that the ship will go anywhere. Anytime. FN B. J. Brammer FN W, J.
