GEOLOGICAL Survey a War-Map Printer.

The contribution to the war of the
map engraving and printing plant of
the United States geological survey,
department of the interior, has not
been limited to the reproduction of
the surveys executed by the topograph-
ic engineers. but has included the re-
printing of photographic and British
admiralty charts in large numbers for
the navy department and Of various
military maps of French and Belgian
areas for the war department. Motor
truck route maps and airplane route
maps have also been compiled and
printed for the use of the army, as
well as special charts and maps for
use at instruction camps. An inter
esting use of this specially equipped
printing plant has been the regular is
sue of camouflage charts for the navy.
The regular geologic map work has
/ given place during the period of the
war to these exigency calls for color
printing for military purposes.
