Monthly Report - Cartography Division February 1959
1. The pressure of priority work during the past month compelled
the initiation of a program of overtime in order to meet the require-
ments placed upon the Division by ONE, NIS, and the DD/B. There was a
noticeable increase in production of short deadline work for these
components, which, we believe reflects the seasonal increase resulting
from various components attempting to meet end-of-fiscal-year deadlines.
It is estimated this trend will continue until summer vacations when
the workload usually tapers off. Meantime, however, overtime will be
necessary to stay current with the most pressing priority jobs.
2. The Division Chief spent considerable time on BON problems during
the month. As Chairman of the Foreign Dames Committee,, he Is involved
in Executive Committee efforts to analyze and implement the work of the
Board in the light of recent Department of Interior directives that have
transferred the domestic names cork from the office of Geography to the
Geological Survey,

3. spent two days at the Rand McNally
plant in Chicago evaluating the terrain shading work being done by this
Company. Valuable information applicable to D/GC work was secured.
4. In order to fulfill a special request from DD/P considerable
effort was expended by the Division in the preparation of special teaching
aids. Both compilation and the Development and Construction Branch were
involved in the effort and was assigned to an out-of-town area
during the first week in March to assist in the program.
