CHAPTER III : the Hydrographic Survey of Canada from the First World War to the Commencement of the Canadian Hydrographic Service, 1915-1927
Bibliographic record
Abstract
measured in the entrance to Halifax Harbour, and on the beach of Egg Island.Five chronometers were employed for determination of longitudes, with wireless signals from Arlington, Virginia.Improvements to Admiralty Chart No. 311 were submitted to the Admiralty, and a Canadian chart "will be issued showing the result of the offshore work, during the past summer."Another special project this season was the laying out of a measured mile in Bedford Basin, and a close examination of the narrow channel in its entrance for the information of the dockyard officials.These surveys were the commencement of systematic charting by Canadian hydrographers on the Atlantic coast of the maritime province, a task still in hand and difficult to keep abreast of with larger and deeper draught ocean vessels now frequenting these waters.FIRST JOINT HYDROGRAPHIC-OCEANOGRAPHIC CRUISES At the instigation of the Department of the Naval Service, two oceanographic cruises were carried out on the Atlantic coast from late May to July in 1915.The oceanographic party was headed by Dr Johan Hjort, Director of Fisheries of the Norwegian government, and also comprised representatives from the Fisheries Branch of the department, biologists from McGill University and the United States Biological Station at Boston, Mass.The hydrographic party was in charge of Capt.F. Anderson, officer-in-charge of the Acadia, with assistants (see above).The purpose of these cruises was a fisheries study of Atlantic waters between Halifax, Sable Island, the Gulf Stream, Newfoundland, Cabot Strait and the Strait of Canso.While oceanographic work was in progress, the hydrographic party rendered all possible assistance to the scientists.When survey work off Nova Scotia ended in the fall, Capt.Anderson made another special cruise to St John's, Newfoundland on behalf of Dr Hjort.This season five to six weeks were lost on account of boiler and engine troubles, delaying the Acadia's lay-up until late November. ST LAWRENCE RIVER Lower St LawrenceThe steamer Carder returned to the hydrographic survey from the Canadian navy early in 1915, and under Mr Savary's charge hydrographic work was resumed this season on the Gaspe Coast between Matane and Cap Chat, PQ.Assistants with Mr Savary were Messrs E. Ghysens, M.A. MacKinnon and F.C.G.Smith.Sailing master was Capt.H

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
