Inventory control, manufacturing control, billing
(invoicing and order writing, parts substitution, payroll,
hospital accounting, sales analysis, accounts receivable,
fiscal accounting, and Air Force parts inventory and
accounting.
The IBM RAMAC 305 (Random Access Method of Accounting and
Control is a complete, compact data processing system built
around a disk memory unit which consists of 50 magnetic metal
disks. The RAMAC 305 is designed to provide continuous, or
"in-line", accounting for all types of businesses. Data is
recorded on or read from each side of the disks in random
order by a rapidly-moving access arm. The disk units are
available with storage capacities of 5 million digits and 10
million digits and may be used either singly or in any
combination of two to provide storage capacities of 5, 10, 15
and 20 million digits.
Control center of the IBM RAMAC 305 is the operator's
console. The system also has arithmetical and logical
ability, punched card input, and both punched
card and printed output. Additional features which may be
added to this basic RAMAC for further versatility include
punched paper tape input, remote printing stations, dual disk
files, dual access arms, dual system control, and faster, more
flexible printing.

FUTURE PLANS
USA Medical Depot Future applications include fiscal
accounting, cost accounting (ACMS) and civilian payroll and
personnel accounting.
USA Raritan
It is proposed by this installation to install an RCA 501
Computer for two complex and high volume applications,
Ordnance Supply Analysis Agency (Statistical Analysis) and
Field Service Division (National Inventory Control Point).
This is independent of the present installation (IBM 305).
The successful assimilation of logistic requirements by
the present computer installation may permit the extension of
this system to include some finance and accounting
applications, (Ordnance Corps Management System, Stock Fund
Accounting) and/or the development of personnel statistics.
Plans are being formulated to improve data collection and
data transmission facilities.
USA Red River Arsenal Plans for the present RAMAC
System include addition of tape units for utilization of tape
input-output and for possible utilization of Type 1401
equipment to process tape output. Feasibility studies on 1401
equipment have just begun. It is anticipated that RAMAC will
be used for several yeas for availability
editing purposes and with tape output for 1401 processing,
a completely integrated system will be possible.
USN CNS Plans for system improvement include
increased processing speed through improved programming,
output redesigned to use Standard Navy forms, and reduction
in clerical/filing areas through redesigned output.
Hamilton AFB
A new program is under development at the present time
that will more fully utilize the capabilities of the 305.
The new program will contain the following:
Automatic recomputation of stock control levels at re-
order point.
In-line special levels computation.
Establishment and management of inviolate levels.
Intra-account transfers and automatic selection of
interchangeable items.
Internal inventory accounting monetary (IAM) with
assignment of TAM transaction codes and functional expense
and general ledger code.
Output of cads for cost distribution.
Output of obligation cads for stock fund and local
purchase items.
Self balancing daily transaction register.
Internal stock balance and consumption reports.
In addition, a new 305 will be installed with the latest
configuration components that increase processing speed and
logic capability.
USAF Richards-Gebaur AFB It is planned to convert
to a new system in accordance with Section 23, volume ii,
AFM 67-1.
Boeing, Wichita We are planning for installation
of double density (10,000,000 characters).
WE Aurora Planned applications include payroll,
complete production control of all elements of relay
manufacture, departmental and shop summary of payment and
accounting results, and production control of commercial
screw manufacture.
WE GPC New York Future plans include performance of
linear programs and multiple correlations for forecasting
and maintenance of item and price catalogues.
WE TSD New York
An IBM 305 System with 20 million characters of magnetic
file storage and the 797 Reader Punch is installed at the
Illinois Distributing House in West Chicago, Illinois. This
system will replace a standard IBM 305 System operated by the
Illinois Bell Telephone Company at the Illinois Distributing
House.
The initial application is the preparation of the
customers' orders and billing. Approximately half of the
volume of the input data will be punched using the Dataphone
III system of transmission. The customers supply employee has
been equipped with the Dataphone III Cad Reader and a set of
item cads at his normal work location. To place an order, he
telephones the Data Center at the Distributing House, which
is equipped with Dataphone III receiving equipment. He feeds
the cad reader one cad at a time, which duplicates this data
at the Data Center. Then he keys in the variable data such as
the desired quantity which punches variable data in the cad
at the Data Center. This receiving equipment normally
operates unattended. The remaining orders are telephoned to
keypunch operators equipped with headsets, are mailed in, or
received by teletype.
All phases of material ordering control and customer return
material procedures effecting the warehousing, repair shop and
the customer are expected to be

processed through the computer. The emphasis is to establish
operational limits which eliminate the necessity for
management to review transactions falling within the
acceptable limits. A broader objective is to plan the
operations of our computers so that the data is available
and compatable with data processing equipment in other
organizations in the Bell System.
A similar installation with smaller file capacity has
been ordered for the Westchester Distributing House in
Yonkers, New York.
An in-line printer such as the IBM 407 is desirable on
certain applicarions, and is expected to be added to our
IBM 305 System.
Forthe future, a study is underway to determine
the feasibility of using an IBM 1401 System equipped
with a large random access file.
Georgia State
Future plans call for eventual replacement of exist-
ing equipment with an IBM 1620 - 1401 System (or
its equivalent), with the possible addition of a
Royal McBee LGP 30.
