When this siren sounds
     after steering station
           take control

when all men are clear
    of door pull
           handle and hold

when door is closed
    pull handle in
           direction of arrow





be alert for unusual conditions





naked lights
    matches
          lighters
                remedy defects immediately

other flame producing apparatus
    know the safety devices in this station
          caution is always necessary

do not alter any
    fit in
          gun and other appliances

station safety devices
    handle ammunition
          as little as possible

particular attention
    kept securely closed
          prohibited in this station





they are in operation at all times





when door is closed
    pull handle in
          direction of arrow

When this siren sounds
    after steering station
          take control

when all men are clear
    of door pull
          handle and hold
