Oldspert, what did an Aerographer do? I worked for a company that used that name for one of our products in the 1950's and 60's. The company name was Varian and the product that used the Aerograph name was a Gas Chromatograph.
Thanks.

Aerographers Mate is trained in observing and forecasting the weather based on various data received via teletype and local observations. At Fleet Weather Central Pearl Harbor we had Varian electrostatic printers and surface map plotters. One of the first Navy weather stations to have used computers to plot and analyze weather data.

Thanks Ed, as they say you learn something new every day. Varian was formed in 1948, were neighbors of Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto CA.
