137 Projectionist, 16mm

Appendix B identifies SSN 137 as “Projectionist, 16mm” in the June 1944 tentative manual and lists “Projector Operator-Repairman, 16mm” as its June 1945 title. Its instruction “See also 977” is a cross-reference, not an established conversion to 977 or an explicit cancellation or rename.

June 1945 is the manual’s publication date. No calendar effective date is given for a change to SSN 137.

  • The June 1945 title describes the wartime classification, not a modern occupation with the same code.
Source extraction notes

Predecessor title from the June 1944 tentative-manual column: Projectionist, 16mm. Suggested conversions/remarks, as printed: See also 977. The Present Title column is the manual's June 1945 meaning: Projector Operator-Repairman, 16mm. It is not a present-day MOS equivalence. This is a cross-reference or instruction to review the job specification, not an explicit fixed replacement or proof of cancellation. The table gives no row-level calendar effective date. June 1945 is the manual publication date, not an inferred individual conversion date.
