In the Ruffing Center on Wednesday, all OCR applications lost
135 minutes due to a failure of an IBM tape controller. The
controller then hung an I/O channel causing a loss of the Batch
system for 25 minutes. RECON lost 80 minutes more Wednesday due
to a bad card in an IBM disk drive. On Monday, faulty COMTEN
hardware caused a 15 minute loss to VM and one of 73 minutes to
GIMPROD, COLTS lost 154 minutes, Monday, following an error on a
CDC disk drive. All OCR applications lost 25 minutes, Monday,
because of a problem in the Access Control Facility software. A
somewhat below average week. In the Special Center, CAMS lost 50
minutes, Thursday, when an IBM disk drive failed, followed by a
mistake in moving a disk pack between banks. A problem with
either an Amdahl 70 channel, or a disk controller in an IBM
370/158, caused 102 lost minutes for TPSTAR on Thursday. CAMS
hung Wednesday for 104 minutes in the course of cabling work being
