TIME FOR ANOTHER REUNION ?

The Board of Trustees has been discussing the timing and location of the next NCR REA reunion. At our planning meeting last fall, we also decided it would not be prudent to schedule a reunion event in 2010 for the same eco-nomic reasons as for 2009.

We have also been discussing the possibility of holding the event in Septem-ber 2011, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the new NCR World Headquarters. We un-derstand and are concerned that this adds cost and logistical concerns for many of our members versus holding it in Dayton.

We know by the demographic information the REA membership in Ohio is eight times the membership in Georgia. While including adjoining states de-creases this ratio significantly, it means many more will require overnight ac-commodations if we hold the reunion in Atlanta. In the previous reunion events, our attendance ranged from 275 -400. Of those attending, only 20% came from out of town and required overnight accommodations..

We are, therefore, cautious that if we held the event in Georgia it might be difficult to reach 200 attendees. Due to the cost and resource commitment re-quired for such an event, this is a further concern of the Board.

And this is where we need your help. The last two pages of this issue are a survey that that we would like you to complete. . Please print them out, two-sided, complete the survey, fold it, tape it, put postage on it, and send it. We would like to have your response not later than March 1, 2010. Or, you may email it to rea@ncr-rea.org . If by U. S. mail, send to NCR REA P. O. Box218 Germantown Ohio 45327. This information will help us make a deci-sion that is responsive to our members.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely yours, Gordon Meister President

FROM THE EDITOR

Most of my thirty five years with NCR was spent in Dayton. In 1965, I moved my family to Dayton to begin my career with NCR. Over the past forty five years, I have watched the rise and fall of Dayton and NCR. I would not give credit solely to either one for the good times or the bad ones. When you are a part of a community you must share the credit and the blame. We are in another of these times now; it’s more the fall of Dayton than of NCR. I think NCR has sold off the last of its properties in Dayton, with the possible exception of the telecommunications bunker which remains located in Old River Park. There are too many properties to list in these comments, but some of the more notable landmarks given up by NCR are: Corporate Technical Education Center, MicroElectronics Division, Sugar Camp, Haw-thorne Hill, Moraine Farm, Software Development Center (SDC Bldg. 31), Old River Park, and World Headquarters (WHQ). There were many other properties scattered far and wide across Montgomery County.

Recently, Kettering Medical Network (KMN) purchased Moraine Farm. Kette-ring Medical Center is a neighbor to Mo-raine Farm. Moraine Farm sits on a rather significant piece of land that may have been the reason KMN made the pur-chase. They would have the space to

make necessary expansions. We can hope that KMN will recognize the sig-nificance of the Moraine Farm structures to the Dayton area. It is not just a piece of NCR history, it belongs to the community. And, University of Dayton (UD) purchased World Headquarters and Old River Park. UD is transforming the facility into their “...unified home... for its Research Institute.” I find it ironic that NCR felt the need to move to a more innova-tive area and the UD Research Institute’s (UDRI) slogan is “At the University of Dayton Research Institute, we combine (un)common sense with creativity to deliver innovative, practical science and engineering solutions. On Budget On Time.” I hope Dayton and the surrounding area are able to overcome the loss of NCR. I hope KMN does the right thing with Moraine Farm. I wish NCR, KMN, and UDRI all the best..

Many will recall the days when NCR would close the factory the first two weeks of August and all manufacturing employees were required to take their vacation at that time. It was quite a site at the 4:00 p.m. quitting time on Friday. Men and women would race from buildings looking for wives and husbands who already had the cars packed and ready go. The massive parking lot west of NCR World Headquarters (Building 10) was dotted with cars pulling boats and campers, while others had car top carriers crammed full. Off they would go in all four directions, each do-ing their own thing. I would bet that neither they nor you ever thought about going on a vacation with hundreds of other men, women, and chil-dren. Well, that very thing did happen in August of 1906.

That year, NCR planned an eight-day company vacation at a site near Michigan City, Indiana. Each employee was charged $5.75 and each family member paid $4.00. This charge cov-ered railroad transportation, housing, and three meals a day. Advertisement for the event was billed as being “cheaper than staying home.” Over 2,500 said “yes.”

For a week before the event, 65 NCR workmen built, in a wooded area on the banks of Lake Michigan, a city of 1,350 tents, a dining room seating 1000, and a cooking area large enough to feed all 2,500 people in one hour. The city was laid out with a main street (National Ave-nue) which ran for nearly a half mile and it had 54 intersecting streets (First Street to Fifty Fourth Street). Water pipes and electrical wires were connected to the Michigan City utilities. Fresh water was available on every other street corner and electric lamps provided light throughout the village.

Early the morning of Monday, July 30, four trains, at twenty minute intervals, departed Day-ton. Each family was allowed 150 pounds of luggage which was collected on the previous Friday and sent ahead. When the families ar-rived at 5:00 p.m., they found their luggage al-

ready in the tents. As they settled into camp, dinner was being served. A post office, a telephone bank, a laundry, and a medical station were available. Dr. Herman, the NCR doctor, and two of his nurses from Dayton were on hand to handle medical emergen-cies. The most enjoyed past time was swimming in Lake Michigan, however, there were many activities planned for both day and evening. There was a site seeing trip to Chicago. Early each morning, families would board an excursion steamship and sail across Lake Michigan to Chicago. They would spend the day in Chicago and then sail back to camp early in the evening.

There was continuous entertainment during the day at a large multipurpose stage which had been sent from Dayton and assembled at the camp. Each evening, a dance was held on the stage with as many as 500 people at one time dancing to the mu-sic of the NCR Band from Dayton. The NCR base-ball team from Dayton held clinics on baseball as well as supervising games. The team also enter-tained by playing games against local teams from Michigan City. By the way, they didn’t lose a game. Other supervised activities were available: horse-shoes, badminton, and many of the typical team games played at a large picnic. On Sunday, the stage became an outdoor church. Leading the non-denominational worship service was a guest minis-ter from the Divinity School at the University of Chi-cago. Music was again provided by the NCR Band.

What may have been the most popular activity with the parents was a children’s playground complete with swings, slides, jungle gym, and the largest sand pile anyone had seen. The playground was super-vised by kindergarten teachers. Yes, you guessed it, they were from Dayton. Parents could leave their children there all day feeling confident they would be in good hands and well entertained.

The camp was broken on Wednesday, August 9th. After an eight days vacation, families boarded the four trains for the return trip to Dayton.

40-Year History of the NCR Computer Systems at the 18th Bank, Nagasaki, Japan In early 2009, the 18th Bank in Nagasaki, Japan, retired probably the very last online computer system sold by NCR. Many NCR REA members may not believe that our computer was running online through the first dec-ade of the 21st century, but this is a true story of a gutsy local bank and a group of highly dedicated NCR field engineers who jointly made an impossibility possible. The Bank was the eighteenth local bank chartered by the national government of Japan in 1877. The Bank con-tributed greatly in helping develop the local industries, as well as serving the consumers for the last century. The market the bank served is mainly in the southern region of the Japanese archipelago. This area is often viewed as a back country away from the central economy and politics in Tokyo, more than 1000 kilometers from Nagasaki. What they have done there in technology, however, was state of the art all the way. Behind the scene was a group of NCR FEs and their dedication to meet customer needs. It was 1969 when the Bank installed an NCR 315-100 with a Class 420-2 NCR Font Reader. Since then the Bank has been a supporter of nearly every NCR mainframe computer system through 2009. Yes, that is no mis-take. The Bank online [system] was still running on NCR WorldMark AP6 hardware as late as January of 2009. In 1972, the Bank started its first online banking with NCR Century 200. The Bank was highly dissatisfied with the performance of the NCR system, and they developed their own communication software. Follow up was their own OS [Operating System] in 1974 and NCR FEs had to play a major role in providing hardware spec [ifications] data to the bank programmers. At this early stage, the technical staff of the bank knew that the system NCR was selling was a general purpose computer not fit for high volume online transactions. Local NCR field engineers helped the bank understand the hardware characteristics in handling multi-thread inter-rupts and priority memory access logic for the bank to design timing loops. By early 1970s, NCR Japan had established itself as one of the market leaders in online transaction processing [OLTP] systems market in Japan. The dominant position NCR had achieved with a banking terminal, the Class 42, helped NCR Japan penetrate the financial online transaction systems market as well. However, the standard NCR system was short of expectations by leading Japanese banks such as the Sumitomo Bank. NCR Japan was forced to develop its own local transaction-oriented operating system on corporate funding. TOX, Transaction Oriented Executive, was highly tuned to meet the requirements for online accounts processing in Japan. The 18th Bank, however, was not satisfied with performance of TOX. They wanted an even faster system. By 1979, the Bank had developed another operating system. Over the years since the 315 was installed, the NCR Field Engineers continued to feed the Bank such technical information as the memory access time, IO interrupt scheme, and all the relevant structural design. The team effort by NCR FEs and the bank’s technical staff continued, and by the mid-1980s, the bank devel-oped its own language, the AYL. The local FEs, trying to meet the customer’s language design, had to modify at least a half dozen firmware commands, even though such firmware modifications meant no support from To-kyo or NCR Corporation. Their OS continued to mature as NCR hardware evolved from Century 300, to Crite-rion 8500, to Criterion 8600, and on to NCR 9800 AP systems. In 1991, their performance was further en-hanced with NCR 9800-AP4 systems, which continued to support the banking online operations through 1998. During the 1990s, the team (the 18th Bank and NCR) developed its own high-performance disk system as the

(C O N T I N U E D F R O M P A G E 6)

customer was not happy with the reliability of the standard disk system offered by NCR. The relationship between the Bank and NCR nose-dived in 1998 when NCR announced that the company would no longer be offering mainframe systems. It was clearly a right decision for the NCR management as the industry direction was going for commodity technology driven by the PC industry. The view by the local field engineers was quite different, however. They strongly believed that the CPU architecture developed by NCR thus far had been a lot more mature than that of personal computers which at that time were catering for small volume, low performance tasks. By about this time, NCR had shifted its technology strategy from mainframe concept to data warehousing, decision support systems. Through a series of hard negotiations with the Bank, it was agreed for NCR to offer hardware on which the Bank could continue to run their software asset for an addi-tional number of years. The solution was another locally developed system based on trade-in NCR 4400 AP-6 hardware, which were delivered in year 2000. The 18th Bank was not seeing a promising future with NCR systems and they placed orders for a replacement system from Fujitsu. Yet, requests kept coming for disk systems and APs as the Bank kept growing. A very large order, in 2002, for an add-on disk system proved that the bank was not satisfied with the solution by Fu-jitsu. More orders for APs and disks followed in 2006. NCR was told the customer had canceled the Fujitsu order. In 2006, the final order was filled, and the sixteenth AP-6 system was delivered, putting an end to the new hard-ware orders from the bank. The stable total system kept running until 2009; handling more than one hundred thousand transactions per hour. Unisys is reported to be the successor to a 40-year relationship between NCR and the 18th Bank.
