Report for June 1964
General
TCS-9200-64
17 November 1964
Copy
1. The Automated Reporting Subcommittee of the Photographic Intel-
ligence Production Board held its first organizational meeting on 24
June. This Subcommittee will provide a much needed forum for discussing
and coordinating new procedures and ADP systems for the production of
published reports and reference files. The end product of subcommittee
deliberations will be systems studies concurred in by the Committee and
recommending to the PI Production Board adoption of specific procedures
for automated report generation.
2. The IBM 1401 system was down a total of 74 hours during the
month. This is an all time high. The exact cause was never determined;
the fault recurred often but would not stay on the machine long enough
for engineers to locate it. Because IBM could not predict the time
required for repairs and because several high priority jobs were immi-
nent, IBM Account Representative, had a new 1401 system 50X1
pulled off the production line at Poughkeepsie, installed and opera-
tional on 24 hours notice. In addition a team of IBM engineers,
including a technician from the factory worked around the clock several
days to restore our 1401 to proper working condition. IBM also made
approximately 40 hours of machine time available at their Education
Center and at the Bender Building.
3. Discussions were started with to extend the
date for termination of the contract with LMSC for programming services.
The original work order called for completion of the contract by 30
November 1964. It is clear that we will continue to require the ser-
vices of LMSC programmers beyond that time. The contract can be
extended at no additional cost to the government since the LMSC work
effort did not develop as rapidly as had been expected and has tapered
off, due to resignations and transfers, sooner than anticipated.
4. In conjunction with the Assistant for Operations discussions
were held with of OPCEN (OSA) and of (S) NRO
regarding the establishment of a high speed data transmission network.

As a result of these discussions we recommended and the Executive
Director approved establishment of a terminal at NPIC. When operational
(estimated date November) NPIC will be able to transmit and receive data
with the West Coast at the rate of approximately 185 lines of 120 char-
acters each per minute. The systems verifies each character before
transmitting the next to insure accuracy. Transmission rates for closer
points will be even higher since the rate is limited by the time required
for the signal to physically travel across country and return to the
sender for verification:
5. At month's end GSA completed modifications to the TSB area of
TID permitting consolidation of the various parts of the Systems and
Programming Branches on the second floor. At the same time the Office
of the Chief was relocated to the second floor. These physical moves
encouraged and facilitated the actual integration of operations within
these two Branches and were essential to effective management. The
Operations Branch -- actually the Computer Operations Section of the
Operations Branch -- remains split between the second and fourth floors
making operations -- especially shift operations -- very difficult until
the 1401 is relocated with the 490. This move has been delayed until
FY 65 pending the availability of funds and the completion of surveys
by the Office of Logistics and Gm..
Systems Branch
Systems Branch activity centered around formulation of the types of
substantive operating problems requiring analysis and study, completion
of specifications for automatically incorporating CaAOR requirements into
Target Briefs and continued systems and procedure design on the All-
Source System.
Programming Branch
1. Programs were started to select from the Target Brief File
those targets covered by a given KH-7 mission and to plot mission cover-
age as well as the targets. These programs will greatly assist in pre-
OAK preparation.

2. The AFP "Best Fit" ephemeris program was modified by
at LMSC with the result that our ephemeris no longer agreed
with that supplied at LSC. Arrangements are being made to receive
prior notification of such changes in the future.
3. Programming for the Program Analysis System was set back by
some modifications and as a result a crash effort was initiated in an
effort to meet the July 15th deadline.
Operations Branch
1. Production in all three sections increased necessitating 1,073
hours of overtime - a new high. Overtime on the 1401 totaled 428 man-
hours and was partly due to the excessive down-time (see General Para
2). 1401 System utilization totaled 204 hours not including 75 hours
of down time and 25 hours rerunning projects stopped in midstream by
machine faults. Requests processed totaled 143 of which 128 were
National and 15 Departmental. In addition 6 OAKs, 2 KH MCIs, 14 IPIRs
and 32 Yankee Team MCIs were processed.
2. Univac 490 production time rose to 108 hours which is an
increase of 68 hours over May. Test and assembly time remained approx-
imately constant at 151 hours making the total for the month 259 hours.
3. Minicard System production included:
a. 87 Information retrieval search requests
b. 7,490 Minicard enlargements
c. 71 PID informals
d. 300 documents resulting in 46,492 file expanded
Minicards added to the files.
a. 2,067 WAC Mosaics added
f. 5,238 Minicards were duplicated on 16 mm roll f-lm
in response to an NSA request for a copy of reports.

4. GSA began the modifications necessary for installation of the
PAK? Processor. As a result the Minicard film processor was relocated
in the Photo Lab. Minicard enlarging had to be halted because the water
supply was temporarily suspended.
5. Rehabilitation was started in the Minicard selector obtained
from storage. When completed this machine will be available for backup
to our other selector.
