Approved For Releasq g QgjQM pprove COLUMN HEADINGS City, Installation- -This column contains the name of the city or town nearest the installation, followed by the name of the installation. If the name of the installation is not known, it is titled according to its function. Where appropriate, the city and installation names are followed by a capsule description. Coordinates- -Coordinates are referenced to the SW corner of the minute square. , When the subject installation covers a wide area, coordinat\\ es are given for the approxi- mate center of the installation. WAC--This column provides the World Aeronautical Chart number for that area in which the subject installation is situated. Installation Numbers--This column is divided into two subcolumns. The first subcolumn lists, when known, the BE installation number assigned to the installation. The second subcolumn lists the installation number assigned by NPIC. Installation numbers, when used to reference an item, should be prefixed by the appropriate WAC number, since installation numbers are repeated from WAC to WAC. For example, there is an NPIC target number 0499-15-A and an NPIC target number 0498-15-A. In each instance, the NPIC installation number is 15-A, but the installations appear on different WAC charts. COMOR TARGET NUMBERS Target numbers assigned by the Committee on Over- head Reconnaissance (COMOR), when available, are listed directly above the photo reference data. The photo reference data indicates the frame(s) on which the installation appears. CONDITIONS AFFECTING PHOTOGRAPHY Following the photo reference data, symbols indicate conditions which affect the appearance of the installation on the photography. The symbols are: C (clear); SC (scattered clouds); HC (heavy clouds); SC-HC (scattered- to-heavy clouds); H (haze); CS (cloud shadow); SD (semi- darkness); 0 (obliquity); and PQ (poor image quality).
