Abstract :
Preparation each month of customers´ telephone bills, and processing the bills after payment, are tremendous jobs. A new billing and collection procedure has been developed which combines a standard punched-card accounting system with recently developed teletypewriter and optical scanning equipment. This extended mechanization, now in operation, has made possible more efficient methods and has effected substantial savings. It can be adapted to other machine billing systems.
