805 Cryptographic Technician

Appendix B identifies SSN 805 as Cryptographic Technician in the September 1942 AR 615-26 and supplements column, and suggests SSN 667 for conversion. This was not an automatic replacement: each affected individual's Qualification Card had to be reviewed against the manual's job specifications.
