2. Additionally, if at some future time, OIT should decide to
segregate narrative and data message operations, the Message and
Retrieval printers located in the remote area could be redesignated
and moved into the operations area to perform the Alarms and
Chronology functions associated with the Data Message Relay
operation.
3. Upon completion of the MRS cutover, OIT may wish to
reconsider the co-located complement of printers in the
Comunications Consoles Area. The Mercury Program Office recommends
a minimum of 6 printers be co-located in the Consoles Areas, as
opposed to the 4 printers which are indicated in the OIT floor
plan. The six printers include 2 Logs, 1 Courtesy Copy / Reports
/Retrieval, 1 Alarms, 1 Service Message/Message, 1 Chronology.
