SUBJECTS Employee Suggestion No 0 8171 Asaembay of Dispatch
Forms into Setsa
1, This suggestion proposed the development of two types of
dispatch sets*
a? A preasserabled carbon interleaved snapuout set composed
of an original on a better grade lighter weight bon,
and about seven manifold copies,
b0 A preassembled set containing a hectograph master for
reproducing more copies than can be made economically
by a typewriter,
2. These two types of dispatch assemblies were considered
during a study of the dispatch procedures by this Staff
in the Fall of 1955? On the basis of this stucr..it was
decided to test the two assemblies in two DD/P Area
divisions and in three Offices in the DD/S .Area, A
contract to procure these forms was awarded in February
of this year,
30. This staff feels that the suggesters s major contribution
to improving dispatch forms was her recotoeda tdation for a
preasseinbled set containing a hectograph master, We do
not believe that she is entitled to credit for developing
the preassenbled eight part carbon interleaved dispatch
set for the following reasonsz
a,, A set sia lar to that recommended by the suggester was
considered upon the merger of OSO and OPC and again in
January 1954 (ANN*)
The use of a preassembled set was recommended by the
Office of Comptroller Area Records Officer in December
1953 WWEF)
c, The Chiefs Office of Communications Registry recom.
mendd the use of a carbon interleaved dispatch set
on 26 March 1954 EWMWP)s and solicited cotaents from
divisions on 31 Match 1954 41111111111111W).
do All of the above recommendations predated the suggesterss
idea for a preassembled carbon interleaved set.

4o We therefore recoanend that the suggester be granted an award
solely on her contribution to the developmrnt of a hecto-
graph master dispatch net, We estimate that about 10%
of the approximately 4W#000 dispatches typed annually will.
be prepared on hectograph masters, The use of about 40 000
bectograph dispatch master sets a year should produce the
following improvements:
a. Eliminate typing the headings on WOW masters. (30
seconds per master, or 333 man hours per year at a
0SI4 level, third steps valued at $572:76a)
bo Eliminate assembling three sheets each of carbon and
manifold paper (20 seconds per set,, or 221 man hours
per year valued at $378
