Chief Supervisor Duke Elling-son said the center had a problem with the computer's hardware and had to resort to dispatching units with an index card system. "That's the way we dispatched before the computer," he said. Instead of call takers being able to send requests for service to dispatchers, it must be done manually when the computer is not working. The computer hardware problem did not affect the center's phone line computer, which automatically displays incoming numbers and the address of the call's origin. That computer is run by the telephone company, Ellingson said.
