139 remote terminals of 34 Olympic
venues in Moscow, Tallinn, and
Kiev were connected to the ACS "Information"
computer, including 129
display stations, each consisting of an
IBM 3275 video terminal and an IBM
3284 printer; ten high-speed IBM 3780
printers.
The IBM 3275 terminals were divided
into three groups:
Input devices. Used to enter information
about competitors and progress
of competitions from all the
venues, including the Olympic Village,
into the computer. They were installed
at competition sites in the areas of
secretariats of technical officials and
in the Olympic Village at the registration
point.
Output devices. They automatically
printed out results of competitions
held only at a given venue and were
installed in press subcentre areas
close to copiers.
Inquiry terminals. They were designed
to produce diverse reference
information on request and were installed
in the Main Press Centre, at all
press subcentres, in the Olympic Television
and Radio Centre (OTVRC),
Television Technical Centre (TTC),
Olympic Village and at the Soviet
News Agency (TASS).
