Electrician's Mate 3rd Class John Asija from Monroe, Conn., polishes an antique Engine Order Telegraph, or EOT, Sept. 27, 2010, that will be presented to the 628th Air Base Wing upon completion of standing up Joint Base Charleston. The EOT was used in earlier vessels from the 1800s to the mid-1900s. This device was used to power a vessel at a certain desired speed. The EOT used electronic light and sound signals, so when an order was made, the dial would be put in position and then ring in the engine room for acknowledgment. Electrician's Mate Asija is attached to Department of Transient Personnel, Naval Support Activity Charleston. (U.S. Navy photo/Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Jennifer R. Hudson/released)
