Keeping tabs on 9,300 miles of pipeline...

Teletype equipment is control key to giant pipeline operation

With instantaneous Teletype communications, a major pipeline company's most distant pump and compressor station is as close to headquarters as if it were located right next door. This company's new Teletype message center (shown above) handles as many as 40,000 messages each month—along with 30,000 "run tickets" that record the movement of crude oil and refined products.

The message center is the hub of a communication system which keeps headquarters supplied with up-to-the-minute field data... handles administrative traffic and general information... and transmits dispatcher's instructions to five divisional points and 200 pump and compressor stations along 9,300 miles of pipeline.

Accurate. Teletype equipment provides a printed record of all data and instructions for both sender and receiver—so there is less chance of costly errors.

Extra Benefits. As "run tickets" are received at the message center, Teletype equipment also produces—automatically—an extra punched tape with all the data for accounting needs. The accounting department is able to transfer the tape directly to business machines—no lost motion, no recopying required.

Additional Information. Teletype equipment is speeding communications, cutting costs for many companies, many industries. If you would like to know how this equipment will improve service and cut costs for your particular business, get in touch with your telephone or telegraph company.
