When a triangulation or traverse station 

 has been used, the complete name with the 

 year of establishment is necessary. 



7-11 Approval sheet. — The chief of party 

 shall furnish on a separate sheet of paper, 

 attached to the descriptive report, a signed 

 statement of approval of the survey. This 

 shall serve as a general approval of the 

 smooth sheet and all accompanying records. 

 It should include a statement as to the 

 amount of personal supervision of the field 

 work and the frequency with which he 

 examined the boat sheet and other rec- 

 ords, whether the survey is complete and 

 adequate, whether additional field work is 

 recommended, and any additional informa- 

 tion not included in the descriptive report 

 that may be of assistance in verifying and 

 reviewing the survey. 



When a hydrographie sheet is transferred 

 elsewhere for completion, as to a processing 

 ofl!ice, approval shall be made of only that 

 part of the work which has been completed. 

 If the completed smooth sheet is returned to 

 the chief of party for examination prior to 

 transmittal to the Washington Office, his ap- 

 proval of the smooth plotting should then 

 be added. 



7-12 Processing office notes. — When a 

 hydrographie survey is smooth plotted in a 

 processing office, the smooth plotter shall 

 supplement the descriptive report, under 

 pertinent headings in 7-4, as necessary to 

 accomplish the intent of the report and 

 without duplication. The supervisor of the 

 smooth plotters and the officer in charge of 

 the processing office shall review the com- 

 pleted smooth sheet prior to its transmittal 



to the Washington Office and indicate his 

 approval by endorsement of the report. 



7-13 Additions at Washington Office. — 



In the interval between receipt of the hy- 

 drographie sheet and accompanying records 

 at the Washington Office and the final ap- 

 proval of the survey by the administrative 

 officers, certain forms and reports are added 

 to the descriptive report. These include the 

 following: 



(a) Geographic names sheet. — This form 

 is used to list names approved for charting 

 by the Geographic Names Section (see 6-

(b) Records accompanying survey and of- 

 fice statistics. — On this form an entry is 

 made of the records accompanying the sur-

 sounding volumes, special reports, etc. On the 

 same form there are included certain office 

 statistics incident to the verification and re- 

 view of the survey (see 6-94) . 



(c) Record of applications to charts. — On 

 this form is shown the dates when data are 

 transferred from the survey to the chart, the 

 charts affected, the name of the cartographer 

 who did the work, and whether before or 

 after verification and review of the survey. 



(d) Tide Note, Form 712.— This form is

 verification and review of the survey as writ-
