Excerpt from Annual Report of the Naval Observatory, 1917 As noted in the last annual report, the year started without any instruments or equipment for aviation, under the cognizance Of the Bureau of Navigation, having been standardized. Sets of clothing as used in the British and French aviation services were inspected at the Observatory and at the aeronautic station at Pensacola, as well as sets manufactured by American firms. A board was appointed at Pensacola to specify a standard equipment, and their report has been approved. The Bureau of Supplies and Ac counts now has specifications for standard articles of clothing and personal equipment approved by the department, and is engaged in the purchase and issue of this material.
