The automatic handling of business data

Published:11 February 1954Publication History

ABSTRACT

Probably the most impelling factor behind the desire of business to mechanize the handling of the data with which it is concerned is the astounding growth in the volume of these data in the last two decades. The productive capacity of every factory worker has increased greatly in this period, but it is doubtful whether or not that of the office worker has changed greatly. Many businesses, therefore, are now faced with office costs, the control of which spells the difference between profit and loss.
