AEDC Cable Link Eliminates Mail

Article Abstract:

Before the installation of a communications network that links an extensive office automation system, scientists at the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) had to wait three days to get mail from colleagues who were only two buildings away. An underground, 9,600 bps, interfacility cable now links personnel from different organizations within AEDC. Offices utilize Xerox workstations and microcomputers, optical character readers, laser printers, and file services. The Center, which works on some of the most complex problems facing the Air Force, does two to three hundred test projects annually, and the new system is very useful for compiling the results of these projects and quickly distributing the results to the appropriate sponsor.
