Abstract :
An automatic system for handling air travel reservations through the combination of a magnetic pulse storage drum and electronic digital computer equipment is described here. During 1953 the central equipment operated 99.8 per cent of the scheduled time. This reliability points to wider use of such equipment in commercial and military applications.
