Targets are arranged 1) within the country by subject, 2) within the subject by WAC area, and 3) within the WAC area by geographic coordinates in ascending order. Coverage on each target will be presented in chrono- logical order. Aircraft and naval vessels observed in untargeted areas will be listed separately at the end of finis report.

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, coordinates are given for the approxi- mate center of the installation. WAC--This column provides the World Aeronautical !'hart ni4mhor fnr that araa in which the 6UbjP.Ct 1nStallatlon is situated. Installation Numbers--This column is divided into two giihrnliimnc_ 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 `v~'AC to W'AC. For example, there is an NPIC target number 0468-15-A and an NPIC target number 0467-15-A. In each instance, the NPIC installation number is 15-A, but the installations appear on different WAC charts. Target numbers assigned by the Committee on Over- head Reconnaissance (COMDR), when available, are listed directly above the photo reference data. The photo reference data indicates the frame(s) on which the installation appears. 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 cloud cover), H (haze), CS (cloud shadow), HC (heavy cloud cover), SD (semidarkness), S (snow), O (obli- quity), GC (ground cover), CF (camouflage), and GR (ground resolution). Interpretability of the photography is categorized as G (good), F (fair), or P (poor). Target coverage is denoted by the symbols T (total) or PT (partial). The mode of coverage is indicated by ST (stereo), NS (nonstereo), or PS (partial stereo).
