We have encountered considerable 80 column punch trouble with the Detroit Univac. The Grand Rapids installation has been, in comparison, trouble free. ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND REMARKS Frankford A unique system advantage is that sort/collate system may be off line or the tape units may be used on-line as demand stations. Adopted procedures for magnetic tape labelling, storage, shipping, and protection from humidity, temperature, and physical, electrical, fire and other damage include labelling (tape number, program number, period ending date, description and blockette count), storage (2 fireproof closed cabinets - 1 open cabinet), protection against atmospheric conditions (air conditioning), and a disaster plan (source tapes stored in separate location) is in effect. Our Model 0, UFC is composed of a Main Control Unit, an Arithmetic and Control Unit, a General Storage Drum, a 90 column I/0 Unit, a 90 column Adaptor, six Tape Units, a Sort/Collate System (Main Control plus four of above tape units), and a High Speed Printer (Printing Unit, Type Reader, Memory Unit, Control Unit). ROAMA Tapes are stored in the computer room which is air conditioned and humidity controlled. The room is equipped with a sprinkler system in case of fire however, the tapes are stored in plastic containers and metal filed which are not fireproof: Labels are AMC Form 55 dated Oct. 58. Douglas Tulsa An outstanding feature is the magnetic drum storage, which is expandable to 1,800,000 digits on request, and expandable to 5,940,000 digits with circuitry modification. The unique system advantages include true random access storage and self- checking arithmetic processes. Michigan Bell Telephone - Detroit Michigan Bell Telephone - Grand Rapids Outstanding feature is the random access memory. Unique system advantage is that system rates toll messages in random terminating point order and accumulates statistics and study data. FUTURE PLANS Manufacturer Univac File Model 1 is the current Univac File model. Frankford It is planned that additional payroll, budget and program cost applications will be added to the existing equipment as soon as possible. A proposed integrated Financial Management System for the entire Arsenal when implemented would require a computer with a greater potnetial than the one currently in use. It is believed that a computer of the second generation type (transistorized) would prove of greater

BRL 1961, UNIVAC FILE 0, start page 0939

benefit to the Arsenal and would eliminate the obsolescence of such equipment for greater period of time. C and P Telephone Modifications of 80 column read punch (P-19) presently used on Univac Solid State Computer may permit it to be used on Model 0. This will increase time available for computing from 85 milliseconds to 400 milliseconds.

FUTURE PLANS USMC SC Albany To date a study has been conducted on the possible employment of a solid state computer, the Remington Rand USS 80 in conjunction with our present system. This new equipment would replace certain components of our Univac File Computer thereby facilitating an increase in our processing capabilities while maintaining relatively the same monthly rental expenditure. The proposal is under study at Headquarters Marine Corps. A major re-programming effort will commence in the near future for the purpose of including new concepts developed by observation and study of our present programs, new and varied requirements of the computer serviced functions and incorporation of new program ming techniques derived during the past 2 1/2 years of operation. USMC SC Barstow Proposal for installation of additional equipment to modify present system under study at Headquarters, U. S. Marine Corps. USAF Bolling Plan to augment the Univac File Computer with a Univac Solid State 80. This would provide increased processing capability to convert the following applications: Unit Manning Document Application - A system to account for manpower space allocations for all organizations of Headquarters Command. Unit Allowance List Applications - A system for maintaining in use and authorized unit supply records for all equipment issued to support base organizations' missions. Comprehensive Civilian Pay and Leave Accounting Application - This is a comprehensive system which produces payroll register, checks, bonds, expense distribution reports, payroll reconciliations, W-2 statements and appropriation data. USAF McClellan It is planned (machine time permitting) to put a Base Support Control Distribution application on the Univac File Computer. USAF SCC Plan to release the UFC-l and install an IBM 705 and two 1401 systems. Also plan to release an IBM 101 and replace it with a 108. 1st National City Bank Planned applications include accounting (Head Office and Branch General Ledger Accounting) and inventory (stationery). Western Electric Currently making feasibility studies of Remington Rand Univac III and similar equipment manufactured by IBM, RCA and Minneapolis-Honeywell. Future applications include production control in several operating shops, cost bulletin revision in one selected shop, monthly payroll, machine capacity hours, and ordering, scheduling and manufacture of toll cable.
