Justification for Purchase of 3 Teletype Units
1. Installation of Teletype units connecting PID and the
first and third floor film vaults will be utilized to expedite
the handling of film requests and are expected to yield a sub-
stantial savings in time, both of PID analysts and film vault
personnel, over the present burdensome system. This is of
particular consequence due to the large numbers of requests
involved. During the past year, for example, PTD personnel
laced the film vaults which, as indicated
in amorandum PS 0_7_112/64i involved 32,983 cans of film. In
addition, iEeir use wia?e-liminate the error rate and security
considerations which are inherent when the required alphanumeric
information is transmitted orally.
2. It is anticipated that in the future, when programming
permits, these Teletype units will be linked through the Univac
490 to permit real-time accession to film availibility and location
information - thus further increasing their justification.
3. This request has been coordinated through
of the Plans and Development Staff, who will initilte installation
actions and establish operating procedures.
