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.

Upper Left: When the Monster', starts acting up it takes a good man like Bonds, A. H., ET2, to diagnose and correct failures. This gear, the SX radar, enables CIC to guide our planes to the target and home again. Upper Middle: Checking Out one of the many receivers used in maintaining ship-to-plane communications, Lewis, YV. F., ETSN, makes a sensitivity check. To trained and delicate ears the differences in tone are remarkable. Upper Right: ' Dusty Ayres, ETS, a recent graduate of the mess cook ranks, tunes up the YE HOMERH so the airdales can find their way home. More than one pilot owes his life to the efficiency of this particular apparatus. Lower Left: Having found the culprit, Larson, R. A., ETS, prepares to make a minor repair to one of the TDZ transmitters. This apparatus is used for the transmission of tactical signals from ship to ship while sailing in formation. Lower Middle: Making Use of the MK 13 electronic lighter, a product of the inventive genius of the ER Division, is C. W'in- ters, ETI. The fertile brain of R. WV. Headrick, ET2, has contributed this to the comforts of office workers . Lower Left: In response to that panic-stricken call from the bridge Our radio's outI , Adams, L. J., ET3, and Tait, D. R., ET3, make a few hurried checks. Diagnosis-the JOOD forgot to turn on the juice THE ONLY MEMBERS of the engineering department who are lucky enough to get a look at the light of day are the boys in ER Division. In attempting to keep all the radar, communication equipment, television sets, and personal record players in operation, these Techs go from the top of the radar mast to the fatho-meter trans- mitter in the bottom of the hull. Charged only with the responsibility of repair of this equipment, much time is 51 spent kibitzing the boys in CIC on the proper opera-' tion of their gear. The ER Division, though the smallest of the engineer- ing department, maintains a tremendous bulk of equip- ment, and is headed by LTJG J. V, P11211'CS and CHRELE VV. H. Howell. Cracking the whip over the strikers and the clivision's ET's are leading P.O.s C. X'Vinters ETI - . H . , s J and Julio Csiszer, ETI. K
