Abstract
Control systems, whereby a final customer may obtain a satisfactory product after it has passed through several stages of manufacturing, are characterised by considerable time delays in both feedforward and feedback paths. These systems are examples of the industrial dynamics problems investigated by Forrester and others. The matter under discussion in this paper is concerned with the establishment of sensible control systems and the maintenance of their reliability and accuracy. It specifically considers paper products used in data processing as punched cards and forms for optical character recognition.
