12. MRC Technical Report: TENTATIVE SPECIFICATIONS FOR MRC SCORING MACHINE TAPE OUTPUT SYSTEM, 1961 April 25

 File — Box: 1
Identifier: 1

Scope and Contents

4-page report, plus tables, block-diagram, authored by JVM, and trip report to DI/AN Controls vendor. By the early 1960's, magnetic tape systems were becoming available to replace/supplement the ubiquitous punched-hole IBM tab-cards for storage. Accordingly, MRC began plans to store the scanned OMR sheet output data onto magnetic tape. This brief technical report outlines the requirements, steps, procedures, and includes a JVM Trip Report summarizing several possible vendors to assist MRC in accomplishing this objective. Authored by JVM. In due course, MRC did indeed convert to magnetic tape storage systems, rather than cards
