Manufacturer
The Univac File-Computer is a general purpose, med-ium-priced electronic data processing system with a magnetic drum memory. Automatic tape collating and sorting may be performed without requiring computer time, which, during the process, may be spent on other operations. Random access is provided to 180,000 alpha-numeric characters on one drum and to the magnetic core memory. A maximum of ten drums may be added to one system. The system is controlled by external panel wiring and by internally stored programs. Input/output devices consist of an electric typewriter, a punched card unit and a perforated tape unit, a magnetic tape unit and a high-speed printer.

U. S. Army Military Traffic Management Agency Located in Washington, D. C., the system is used by a single manager charged with the responsibility for compiling of statistical data for the Department of Defense on all forms of transportation used by all mUitary departments.
U. S. Marine Corps Supply Center, Albany, Ga.
Located at the Marine Corps Supply Center, Albany, Ga., applications include computer processing under the current Marine Corps concept of supply management, which involves the use of the File Computer as the primary processing tool of the Marine Corps supply
centers, and inventory control point. Each of our two supply centers manage a supply complex. For example, this activity is responsible for the area extending east of a north-south line passing through El Paso,Texas including the Near East and Mediterran-ean areas. All inventory and financial management of stocks at the supply center and the stock account at MCS, Quantico, Va., Camp Lejeune, N.C., and MCRD, Parris Island, S.C., is accomplished by this supply center. The inventory records for each of the above activities are maintained on magnetic tape and up-dated periodically on our computer. The financial accounting is accomplished to support each inventory updating process.

The computer is used for Maintenance Engineering Management - material control and production item reporting. This project provides for control and accounting of material used in the Directorate of Maintenance Engineering repair activities. It in-cludes provisions for maintenance of material stand-ards; computation of material requirements on the 90/180 day programmed workload and other non-program-med work as it generates; preparation of necessary documentation to effect physical movement of stock to the maintenance support stock in conjunction with AMCL 25-156 and to accomplish the determination of support-ability for production; analysis of material usage related to production items; accum~tion of cost for actual material consumed; computation of maintenance stock support utilization and effective-ness; accumulation of production data and reporting for the material repair system and other production reporting.
Computer will shortly be used for base suppOrt class stock control and distribution. This is a method for controlling and distributing material to support AMC internal depot functions including MOS operation and tenant organizations. The basic func-tion of this system is to provide data required to enable the supply components to administer timely, accurate, and effective material support. The system provides current inventory positions and various products for management of serviceable, reparable, and excess material. The system also provideS such by-products of data as can be used in dollar manage-ment of AF assets processed by the computer to effect obligation on distribution of material; appropriate reserve level notices; back-order action as approp-riate; and preparation of outputs for further use in supply and dollar accounting reports.
