FULL SPEED
AHEAD
W I T H
The old nautical term has a new computing significance, thanks to the over-all system speed of the BENDIX G-20. Here is a modern, solid-state computing system whose high speed is not limited by i n p u t / o u t p u t operations. Blending high computational speeds with high input-output and transfer rates, the G-20 eliminates data handling bottlenecks . . . allows through-put (the full input-compute-output cycle) to occur at the maximum speeds of all system components. Magnetic tape transfer occurs, for instance, at 120,000 8-bit characters per second —search is performed at twice that speed. Double transition recording, high packing density, and the elimination of tape skew errors with a unique deskewing buffer provide unmatched tape system speed and reliability.

Helping the magnetic tape units assure input/output to match main frame speed is the BENDIX Data Communicator, allowing simultaneous transfer of data over as many as four channels at 120,000 characters per second each. This simultaneous capab i l i t y — p l u s the rapid tape transfer rate —cuts conventional sorting and file maintenance times in h a l f . . . provides an effective transfer rate of 4 8 0 , 0 0 0 characters per second. That's why, with the Bendix G-20, your scientific, engineering, or business data processing can move " f u l l speed ahead." Investigate the capabilities of the proven G-20 computer.
