5 Upper Left: The Galaxy of Switches which Hockman, M. E., FN is working with comprise those of only one switchboard. Coordi- nation and control of the dial telephones, sound-powered battle telephones, and intercommunication voice boxes are maintained here. Upper, Center: The Light Shop is charged with maintenance and repair of all lighting circuits on the ship. Here Reiman, R. R., EM2, 18 testing one of the large 100-watt flood lights used in shipboard illumination. Upper Right: Testing and Repair are two of the major functions of the distribution gang, which is responsible for the equip- ment supplying light and power to the ship. Dearth, W., FN and Hayes, H. J., FN concern themselves with such testing. Lower Left: Four 1250 Kilowatt steam-driven turbo-generators supply light and power to the Leyte. Powley, A. G., EM3, must record with accuracy the reading on each of these generators every hour while he is on his watch. Lower Center: QLeft to Righty Cash, F. VV., EMI, Manor, H. S., EM2, Davis, R.

Men in the lower areas o t e sup p p THE POWER AND LIGHT requirements of a ship the size of the Leyte demand an electrical plant more exten- sive than would be found in a city of similar size. Be it a burnt light-bulb in need of replacement: re-wiring oi electrical circuit on a small boat: repair of an electrical motor for the ventilating system, re-calibration of an elec- trical calculator used on big guns: an added jolt of power from the huge generator: or replacement of a part of the dial telephone switchboard, the entire E. Division stands ready. The division is divided into six stations, each being detailed a portion of the department's work. Heading these stations are responsible, efficient and capable men.

Upper Left: There are more than 330 dial telephones aboard the Leyte. Volgarino, F., EMl and Tice, L., IC3 inspect one of the complicated automatic switchboards to insure its accurate function. Switches seen are called A'Stroger switches . Upper Center: Aviation Ordnance power shops take care of aviation and ordnance electrical equipment. Hentges, R. LC., EM2, tediously winds a motor for the guns while Perry, T. M., EM2 and Vlfirkkala, E. L., EMFN, supervise. - Upper Right: Upkeep of electrical equipment used for the various sl1ip's service activities is one of the major jobs of the power shop. Repairing this motor by Peters, L. E., EM2 and VVells, C. E., EM3, will insure the operation of the ship's soda fountain CGedunk Standj, which makes approximately 2000 Gedunks tice creamy per day. Lower Left: The E Division is very musically inclined. Instruments found in the E Division gear locker include guitars, har- monicas, banjos, etc. O'Brien, EM3 plays 'Tm Movin' On to audience Slater, R., EMFN, and Noreen, YV., FN. Lower Right: All turbo generators are needed during flight operations to supply the ship with more electrical power. Boss, M., FN and Flynt, D. C., FN stand by to put this generator on the line. Bailey and EMI Cash each has a station under his direc- tion. L C On a Navy ship, the fighting efhciency always comes hrst. This efliciency extends further than the inanimate and complicated electrical equipment concerned, for through its proper function comes much of the support that is lent to giving the individuals many of the comforts of life. 52 This tremendous ship, having a length of about three city blocks and a height equal to a lel story building Qfrom keel to mastj, depends on E Division for a great part of'its integrity and strength. lflforking together, as a team, the E Division keeps the power Howing and adds its part to making the Leyte a real can do ship. The boys with the Electrodes will always be there.
