 Item
Identifier: I.B.d.ii.1

Scope and Contents

From the File:

The following logs document the work of B Division. Notable logs include: the Boiler Room Operating Record, Fuel and Water Reports, Fueling Memoranda, and the Feedwater Log. The Boiler Room Operating Record is a complete record for each steaming fireroom. Space is provided on the back of the record for the operating data of all fireroom auxiliary machinery. Entries are checked by the fireroom supervisor, B Division Officer, and Engineer Officer. Fuel and Water Reports are submitted daily by the Engineer Officer to the Commanding Officer. The report indicates the amount of fuel (fuel oil and diesel oil) and water on hand as of midnight the previous day. The report also includes the previous day’s feed and potable water performance, results of water tests, and the steaming hours on boiler firesides and watersides. The Engineer Officer uses a Fueling Memorandum to inform the Commanding Officer, the OOD (Officer of the Deck), the Supply Officer, and any others concerned whenever fuel oil or diesel oil is received or delivered. The Feedwater Log is used to record the test of feedwater and the test and treatment of boiler water. The Logs sub-series sometimes includes copies of logs that were not filled out.
