Weaver AD The Engineering Administrative staff is responsible for accurate, legible, and up-to-date Engineering records plus timely submission of accurate and legible reports. The staff consists of four Principal Assistants, an Administra- tive Assistant, 3M Coordinator and five Yeoman. Records maintained by the Engineering Department and reports submitted to the Engineer Officer provide data for Engineering reports to higher authority. Perusal of reliable records and reports by the Engineer Officer gives him an easy and effective method of being informed of the state of material and performance in all parts of the Engineering Department. Some Engineering records are mandatory and required by law, others are virtually indispensable for efficient oper- ation of the Engineering plant. They ensured the departments main office, the Log Room, was manned twenty four hours a day during five of the six months of Med Cruise 82-83. LCDR J.H. Chapman LT S. Fillipow EMCS JP.
