oriented map, divided circle, panorama, and alidade pivoted at 

 the center. 



Secondary stations, manned at times of special danger, have 

 either the Table or Sub-Table. 



Sub-stations, with no regular observer, have the Sub-Table, 

 eight inches in diameter, fixed in position, divided circle, pin- 

 and thread alidade. (This sheet has the divided circle of the 

 Sub-table.) All stations are connected by telephone with each 

 other, fire wardens, and officials. The Despatcher (who may be 

 in the District Chief's office or an observer at a main Outlook 

 Station) has the district map on a large table. He is the central 

 officer to whom fires are reported, who gives orders, and, in a 

 big fire, directs the general movements of fire fighters, apparatus, 

 and supplies. All maps are supplied with thread fastened at the 

 location of each station within its bounds and a four-inch protrac- 

 tor surrounding such station. The fire is located on the map by 

 description by one bearing and the distance; or by two bearings 

 as indicated by the intersection of threads.
