Items in this listing are arranged in two sections: Section I provides summary information for a) newly identified targets, b) previously reported targets which show a change, and c) all targets showing order of battle information. Section II provides a listing of those targets which can be identified but not interpreted. Both sections are arranged 1) by subject, 2) within a subject by WAC area, and 3) within a WAC area by coordi- nates reading from south to north and from east to west, For convenience of the user an index to all targets has been included following Section II. Targets in the index are listed alphabetically by place name. Column headings, photo reference data, and symbols indicating conditions which affect the appearance of the target on the photography are explained in the appendix. The user of this MCI is cautioned that the scan was ac- complished in a relatively short time and often without the aid of precise analytical and mensural equipment commonly employed in detailed photographic analysis. Consequently, although this information is essentially accurate, further detailed analysis may somewhat alter portions of the information.

If the name of the installation is not known, it is titled according to its function. Where appropriate, the city and installation names are followed by a capsule description. Coordinates--Coordinates are referenced to the SW corner of the minute square. When the subject installation covers a wide area, coordinates are given for the approxi- mate center of the installation. WAC--This column provides the World Aeronautical Chart number for the area in which the subject installation is situated. Installation Numbers--This column is divided into two subcolumns. The first subcolumn lists, when known, the BE installation number assigned to the installation. The second subcolumn lists the installation number assigned by NPIC. Installation numbers, when used to reference an item, should be prefixed by the appropriate WAC number, since installation numbers are repeated from WAC to WAC. For example, there is an NPIC target number 0893-1 and an NPIC target number 0894-1. In each instance, the NPIC installation number is 1, but the installations appear on dif- ferent WAC charts. Target numbers assigned by the Committee on Over- head Reconnaissance (COMOR), when available, are listed directly above the photo reference line. The photo reference data indicates the frame(s) on which the installation appears. Following the photo reference data, symbols indicate conditions which affect the appearance of the installation on the photography. The symbols are: C (clear); SC (scattered clouds); HC (heavy clouds); SC-HC (scattered-to-heavy clouds); H (haze); CS (cloud shadow); D(darkness); SD (semi- darkness); 0 (obliquity); S (snow); PQ (poor image quality); and IC (incomplete photographic coverage). - 11 - rnn CCCRET CHESS Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/06/08: CIA-RDP89B00569R000800090048-6 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/06/08: CIA-RDP89B00569R000800090048-6 TOP SECRET NO FOREIGN DISSEM/LIMITED DISTRIBUTION T!-1D CCr`DCT Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/06/08: CIA-RDP89B00569R000800090048-6
