| Description |
English: The Royal Navy during the Second World War In this machine, commonly called a "whirler", zinc plates are given a sensitised coating. Photographic negatives are then printed down on to these plates, from which the copies of the charts are printed. The machine is being tended by Sergeant W H Baldwin, RM, of Nottingham on board HMS WHITE BEAR, a hydrographic survey vessel serving with the East Indies Fleet, at Colombo. She acts as headquarters for smaller vessels which penetrate small creeks and rivers to survey areas either uncharted or not charted for many years. The data obtained by these ships is then transformed into charts for allied shipping, with the help of a printing plant which makes HMS WHITE BEAR a floating advanced printing unit. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
