An Automatic Data Handling System of High Speed and High Capacity

The high-speed, high-capacity automatic data handling system has been in the process of design and development during the preceding eighteen months. This paper is devoted to the salient system characteristics which now exist in the final system design. Certain of the operating characteristics which have been established as a result of several months of operation are reported. Emphasis is placed on the systems design features intended to make the over-all system appropriate for a high order of automatic operation.
