(Original designation Navy 5939-12)
Table of Contents
NOTE: The final third of this Reel is difficult to read as a result of photographic deficiencies.
This original notice appears to be quite accurate. After about paper 51 the images become extremely poor. We have conducted 3 separate scans of two different microfilm reels, and have attempted to use the best results from each. Some of the later reports remain completely illegible under all conditions.
