ABSTRACT
The RCA BIZMAC system is a product line of fully-integrated electronic data-processing machines, which has been designed to meet the large volume requirements of commercial applications. A typical large installation may have about 200 separate RCA BIZMAC units. To operate such a large assemblage of machines, a means must be provided for integrating them into an operating unity and for controlling their operation at all times. For the RCA BIZMAC system the "system central" is the integrating element and the focus of all operating activity.
