Electrical repair is made up of electricians specializing in the repair of electrical equipment ranging in size from coils the size of a quarter, to complete motors weighing up to a ton. Included in this is every piece of electrical equipment found ahoard ship. Headquarters for this particular group is the electric repair shop which is equipped for the complete overhaul of AC electric motors, including rotor balancing, bearing chanaino, complete rewinding where necessary, dipping, baking and complete test facilities. Led by DIXON, EM i, and SAN AGUSTIN, EM i, it is one of the smoothest running and most capable shops in ISLE ROYALE ' s Repair Department. Also included in R-3 Division is the Gyro Shop, made up of Interior Communications Electricians specializing in the repair and maintenance of all gyro ' s to keep the fleet on a true course. In addition to gyro ' s the I. C. men as they are called also maintain a complete motion picture projector repair section, where they are constantly performing miracles on outdated, obsolete projectors to keep the movies rolling and the morale high. Under the dynamic leadership of LT IE. DICKINSON, P. C. KELLY, ICCS and R.J. ADAMS, IC . we again find a prime example of LSI E ROYALE ' s CAN DO spirit.

With cigarettes in hand and sleep in their eyes, the ET gang assembles and looks forward in anticipation at the new day ' s work load. Caustic remarks are exchanged around the cold coftee pot. Quarters is held, turn-to goes, and each technician, head cleaner, or otherwise approaches his job with a new solution to a difficult problem .... How can I fake it today? Whether called ET ' s or super deckapes, the division is really composed of four separate groups; all interdependent upon one another. There could be a six page essay written about each worker in the shop, but as space prohibits each group is reviewed separately : ET Shop- The shop recieves all incoming gear and job orders and determines its ultimate destina- tion. ET ' s assigned to the shop also repair equipment aboard other ships. Fleet Calibration Facility- This specialized group of ET ' s maintains electronic standards of all gear recieved through the shop. Sonar Repair- The four sonar technicians always act as if they have nothing to do, but thev are kept busy making lengthy inspections on the sonar gear of the destroyers alongside. Teletype Repair- The busiest man around is the teletype repairman, Ybarra, RM2. He is kept on his toes by the large amount of incoming job orders; sometimes working around the clock repai- ring and adjusting these electronic typewriters. All activities are kept under the watchful eye of WO-i A. W. Foutch, the R-4 division officer. With assistance from Holland ETCS and Grapes STCS, he keeps the shops running smoothly, turning out gear with the highest quality of repair services available to the fleet. With the day ' s work finished you can usually find one or two ET ' s sitting at a work bench staring blankly into space as thev prepare to write a letter home ... How do you spell MOM?
