Description:"JNWP started experimenting with automatic input of upper air data into computers in 1955. The first system was put together with existing commerical equipment for tape to card conversion and operated on the IBM 701 and 704. At the present time this equipment is handling 5000 cards per shift which is way beyond its convenient capacity. In 1956 JNWP and the Air Weather Service begun experimenting with computer originated teletype messages using commerical card to tape equipment. This has now risen to the order of 20,000 words per shift,and is also beyond the capacity of the equipment"--Page 1, paragraph 1.
