paper skids and other bulk supplies. The installation of double doors
in our supply room wall has been completed and now permits the
motor lift to deliver supplies directly into our storeroom. In addition,
to eliminating unsightly objects from the corridor, a substantial amount
of manual labor of hand carrying supplies and several hundred reams of
paper weekly into the storeroom has been eliminated.

personnel visited the CINCLANT installation in Norfolk, Virginia
to observe their automated message handling procedures. We were
quite impressed and the trip. in terms of what we saw and learned,
will be useful to us in our own planning.
