Dial 336-8855 to order 24 hours a day ODGDffiMTOJS mm Mm Known as graphic displays, the UNISCOPE 100 has a keyboard similar to that of a typewriter and a cathode ray tube similar to a television set. The operator sees the message on the tube as he types it and receives a visual answer directly below it.

The computer can be keyed for a print out of information. The system allows the crime computer to start a nearly instantaneous sifting of information while the question is being asked. Minnesota's 87 county sheriffs' offices have been tied to the crime computer through Teletype since 1969, as have some of the Twin cities metropolitan police departments. Univac said the computer terminals will be far faster than the Teletypes which print at a speed of 60 words per minute. The terminals and printers will be installed at the Minnesota Highway Patrol and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the Hennepin, Ramsey and Anoka County sheriffs' of fices, the University of Minnesota, St.

Paul and Minneapolis police departments and 22 suburban police departments. Univac Communications and Terminals Division of Sperry Rand Corp. has signed a contract for worth of UNISCOPE 100 display terminals and printers to be installed at 30 law enforcement agencies. The computer equipment will enable police dispatchers to punch keys on the terminals to make direct inquiries to a central computer to get information on motor vehicle registration, drivers licenses, stolen property and other crime situations. Police headquarters will be directly linked to the Minnesota Crime Information System, which in turn is linked to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Crime Information Center in Washington, D.C., and the National Law Enforcement Teletype System, Phoenix, Ariz.

Under the new system, an officer who stops a vehicle and wants the car license number or the driver's license checked, radios his dispatcher who questions the computer through the display terminal, and relays the in- formation within seconds or minutes.

The Architectural Alliance of Minneapolis was named to design the building. St. Martin's Press, the publisher of this $4.95 book, is ballyhooing it as "the most thorough and authoritative on the subject." Also, you could almost guess the promotional pitch: "Take the tension off, take it all off." What other goodies do book publishers have in store before Christmas? Here's a sampling, reflecting the subjects they think the public is interested in today: One of the books now riding high on the bestseller list is Nena and George O'Neill's "Open Marriage" (sales to date more than The aforementioned St. Mar-tin's Press will try to top this with John and Mimi Lob-ell's "A Free Marriage."

Joyce Brothers, another TV performer, has written "The Brothers System for Liberated Love and Marriage," advising how "women can be happily married and liberated at the same time."

Conference Calls If you have ever held conferences with your key executives, board members or sales staff if you have ever arranged conference calls through the telephone company you must be aware of the tremendous expense and time consumed (and sometimes wasted) to make what may be as little as one decision. Now, with this new SynchroCom system, you can eliminate time-consuming office conferences and expensive conventional conference calls. In a matter of minutes, your secretary dials up to 5 parties, and using the SynchroCom device, connects them with you by just flipping a switch no matter where they are. You can conduct a conference from your office, from your home, or while on a business trip practically anywhere where there is a telephone available. Your SnychroCom Conference Caller becomes the information exchange center for your company.

Transfer Calls One of the principal advantages of this attachment is that you are always available, if you want to be. Your secretary "holds" your caller on the line while she dials you on the same phone. Flick the switch, you're in direct contact with your caller. 1 if Memory Capability tape An audio jack has been installed in your Conference Caller While holding a phone conference with your five key executives you can tape a permanent record for your files for later review. If you are in any way unavailable when an important call comes in, your secretary merely presses the switch on your Conference Caller and records the message verbatim.
