Approved For Release 2005/01/06 : CIA-RDP80B01083A000100090008-8 19 January 1960 SUBJECT . Progress Report on th System 1. Attached is a brief statistical summary of the reports transmittedl in the teletype system. The latest overall average time from transmission to distribution of these reports is slightly over six days. The people managing the program feel, however, that this time can be improved considerably. 2. In addition to the above, flexowriters are now in operation and the first reports have been received from these stations. The reports are being transmitted by the =high volume transmitter and are therefore coming in much faster than the pouched tapes. is expected to begin operations within the very near future. 3. DDS people are working with IBM and expect that a much improved tape producing typewriter will be available in 1961 to replace the flexowriter. 4. The people operating the I system seem to be convinced that it is a good system and that with the new IBM equipment and increased experience we should eventually get the great bulk of our reports with very rapid service. 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/01/06 : CIA-RDP80BO1083A000100090008-8
