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.

FUTURE PLANS Manufacturer There is growth upwards from the 705 with complete program compatibility to the 7080 Data Processing System. Naval Construction Bn Ctr In the proposal stage is a plan to install an IBM 1401 Data Processing System to replace the Type 774 Tape Data Selector and the Type 607 Electronic Calculator at a net savings to the government. This will provide more computing capacity and faster offline operations at reduced cost. Mare Island Naval Shipyard 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.
