The computer is operated three shifts a day five days a week. The actual
operating hours are continuous from 7:30 A.M. each Monday through 7:30 A.M.
the following Saturday. One console operator and two peripheral equipment
operators man each shift. These peripheral operators assist the console
operator by mounting and dismounting on tape drives which are involved in main frame
operations. The operators also perform all "off-line" operations.
The computer room supervisor is assigned to the basic shift (7:30 A.M. -
4:00 P. M.). A tape librarian is also assigned to the basic shift.
Ten analysts are employed in the researching of new projects and the
feasibility of utilizing new types of equipment. These analysts also write
the basic logic for new operations.
These nineteen people assigned to writing programs. This program writing
consists of writing new programs, changing existing programs because of
changes in criteria, changing programs so as to take advantage of new
programming techniques.
Operation tends toward closed shop.
Programmers receive a basic course in programming from the IBM Corporation.
This course runs from three to five weeks depending on the amount of
detailed instruction given and practice allowed. At the end of the course the new
programmers are assigned to work with more experienced programmers until
they become self sufficient.
The original group of console operators and peripheral equipment operators
received the basic programming course from the IBM Corporation. The actual
operation of the equipment was taught, on the job, by IBM personnel. The
more recent additions to the force of peripheral operators have not received the
programming course from IBM. They have learned the operation of the
equipment, on the job, from our more experienced operators.

techniques are reviewed, programmers are assigned under the supervision of a
senior programmer where on-the-job training continues until reaching the
fully qualified level.
Operators attend 705 Course conducted by IBM. Other training is obtained
through on-the-job training.
USAF SB AMA
SBAMA EDP personnel requirements support the logistical mission.
Additional personnel support the PCAM effort. PCAM is utilized in an
integrated data processing system to provide extra off-line capability.
Coders are included in the programmer category.
Because of the varying quantitative effect and diverse character of the
workload in the AMC logistical support, an inflexible recommendation of
personnel was not attempted. Cross-trained personnel qualified to employ
techniques in various computer configurations provide system flexibility.
Engineers and technicians to service and maintain the EDP equipment are
provided on a contractual basis by the manufacturer concerned.
Extra shift time for analysts, programmers and clerks is not on a regularly
scheduled basis. Whenever the workload occasion demands, personnel hours
are specially scheduled.
Systems Analysis, Development and Programming staff operate on one 8-
hour daily shift, 5 days per week. Computer operations staff work on three
8-hour daily shifts, 7 days weekly.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND REMARKS
Manufacturer
Special Representatives
This group offers overall consulting service in connection with the
study of possible uses.
Educational Program
One-week classes conducted for executives at IBM educational departments
in Endicott and Poughkeepsie, New York. Comparable classes are available in
several major cities across the country. These courses are designed to
acquaint executives with the organization, operating characteristics, capacities, and
applications of the 705. Customers who complete this course are better able
to evaluate the advantages, economics and wide business applications of the
705.
In addition to the executive class, courses are available to qualified
methods personnel. These classes are of longer duration and provide knowledge of
programming and necessary operating details.
Programming Service
Personnel are available for consultation with field representatives and
customers. A library of programs common to many problems is available for
adoption as sub-routines by customer. Automatic coding as listed under
automatic coding are available. Symbolic coding methods and assembly
programs are available.
Sales Engineering

by Run Number and Tape Number.
USAF SB AMA
Outstanding features are flexibility of on-line data processing operation
to handle a maximum of 26 input/output magnetic tape files in one computer
system and 22 files in the second system.
Unique system advantages are that it permits the processing of data from
source data to finished report on-line to conform to desired format and
system is flexible to permit off-line simultaneous operations without committing the
main frame.
Adopted procedures for magnetic tape labelling, storage, shipping, and
protection from humidity, temperature and physical, electrical, fire or
other damage are:
Adequate fire protection measures such as automatic sprinkling systems,
fire extinguishers and other devices are provided in readily accessible
locations. In addition, fire prevention precautionary measures
such as "no smoking" are enforced in proximity to magnetic tape files.
AM Standard Utility Package label and file identification procedures are
used on other than Advanced Logistics Systems. A file and label
identification system specially developed for the Advanced Logistics System and an integral
part of A.L.S. is used.
Contractor specifications are used as a guide for humidity and temperature
controls in the operational phase of EDP.
A combined librarian-scheduling unit for expediting and synchronizing data
flow with operational schedules provides internal managerial control of EDP
operations.
AT and T, LLD
A unique system advantage is the variable word length.
Tape handling: Magnetic tape labels used, smoke detection devices used,
operating areas isolated from each other by fire proof partitioning, remote
storage of tapes, and alarms transmitted to remote 24 hour coverage for all
important operating conditions.
AT and T, TD
Tape handling: Tape labeling - All tapes internally
labeled before use, and external labels applied before each usage. Tapes in

IBM 1401C with 1402, 1403 and one 729 on order to replace 720 Printer.
IBM 1401C with 1402, 1403 and two 729 requested (now pending) to
replace card reader, punch and EAM equipment and intended to divert from
705 some of smaller jobs.
Preliminary review for replacement with solid state machine. Primary reason
being increased capacity and speed at lower rentals on newer computers. No
determination made as to replacement machine or date of replacement.
USA TACO
Add an IBM 1401 complex to replace peripheral output
equipment.
USA EMC
EMC forwarded to higher authority a justification for acquiring IBM 1401
Data Processing Equipment. This equipment was justified promarily on the
basis of its replacing certain IBM 700 series equipment used for card
reading, punching, and printing. The requested equipment operates at much faster
speeds than the presently used equipment, has 4000 positions of core memory, and
rents for nearly $500 less per month.
The IBM 1401 equipment requested consists of:
1 1401/C3 Processing Unit
1 14021 Card Read Punch
1 14032 Printer
4 729 II Tape Units
The IBM 1401 Processing Unit will be equipped with four special devices
which provide for high-low-equal compare, multiply-divide, print storage,
and advance programming. In addition, we have requested the IBM 705 II
Central Processing Unit be modified to provide for reading cards directly
into
memory.
The present IBM 700 series equipment to be released when the IBM 1401
equipment becomes operational is as follows:
2 717 Printers
2 757 Printer Control Units
1 722 Card Punch
1 758 Card Punch Control Unit
1 714 Card Reader
1 759 Card Reader Control Unit
1 727 Tape Unit
In our development of projects for ADDS applications we will determine
whether they can best be performed on the IBM 1401 equipment or the IBM 705
II, and will program the application for the appropriate equipment.
We are currently studying all large scale computers in regard to our
projected workload requirements for EMC and the recently announced single
manager mission for military construction supplies. It is anticipated that
these studies will result in a justification for computer equipment of much
greater capacity than we are presently using. These studies will probably be
completed by the first of next year.
