New IBM Computer Speeds Up Process
Get the KU payroll out in four hours instead of fourteen. Print class rosters four times faster.
A new electronic data processing machine of the KU statistical service does all this and more, according to Fred Thornton, assistant director of the service.
The machine, a 1401 IBM which costs $2700 a month to rent, uses transistors and electronic switches to call forth stored information and carry out instructions on cards fed it by an operator.
THE TWO MACHINES previously used operated mechanically and were much less efficient, Thornton said. They were rented for a total of $1.145 per month.
The staff has been increased from 10 to 15 since the 1401 was installed. However, the amount of work done by the service has also increased.
ALL ENROLLMENT and class cards are placed behind the enrollment permit card, which contains the students' status and record. The 1401 transfers the permit card information to the other cards at the rate of 250 cards a minute. The old machine did 100 cards a minute.
After enrollment ended on Saturday afternoon the 1401 printed all class rosters and the students schedules in 33 hours. The job formerly took about 42 hours or well into Monday morning, the first day of classes.
It can print up to 36,000 lines of class rosters an hour, four times as fast as the previous machines.
"The time saving is tremendous when you figure that about 10,000 students have from 6 to 12 cards apiece." Thornton said.
The machines will be used to figure semester grade averages, record grades, and up-date over-all grade averages.
It is occasionally used for research and analysis problems and demonstrations to Business 109 classes (introduction to high-speed data processing).

Her belt lost its clasp.
So she staplied it up Swingline style.
