Specialist (Photogrammetry)
The changes are dated only to 1948, with no month or day given. December 1969 is the compilation's revision date, not the date of the changes.
- The Draftsman entry omits the (PG) suffix, so its link to Sp(P)(PG) is less explicit than the other two connections.
- The record does not state which personnel went to each rating or give grade or component conditions.
