"Now man number 1 elevator and pump room."
A Division means auxiliaries. And by that, 
everything from emergency diesels for electrical 
power to fix the air conditioner in your office. 
The A Division snipes have the many varied 
tasks of manning all the elevator pump rooms 
and seeing that they are maintained  .  .  .  
operating the stores elevators and running the 
oxygen plant for the air wing  .  .  .  providing 
steam for the catapults  .  .  .  and fixing vents 
and air conditioners. And somehow when you 
try to put these in some order of importance, 
keeping the liberty boat engines running 
comes out on top! 
All of these services demand long hard hours, 
but when you need your air conditioner fixed 
or the lights go out in your section of the ship, 
call an A Division Auxiliariesman.
