• back:  With the increasing use of electricity for signalling, gun discharge, etc there has come a proportionate advance in the pay and importance of the ELECTRICIAN-SERGEANTS, who are appointed, after due examination, upon the recommendation of the Chief of Artillery.  An Electrician-Sergeant of the first class receives from $45 to $69 a month, according to the length of his service, in addition to allowances.  These electrical experts of the non-commissioned corps have charge of the installation, maintenance and operation of the elaborate network of telephone and telegraph wires now necessary at every modern fort.

• Please note that the majority of the cards are over 50 years old and as such, are sold AS IS. Tears will be noted but it would be too timely to note each fault on every card.  If condition is important to you - contact us with our number in the title & what it is that you would like to know or what it is that you would like pictured more closely.
• Again, because of the age of the cards - they are noted as being USED - no matter if they are written on or not.
