Abstract: The computerized meter record system operated by Philadelphia Electric Company handles gas and electric metering records. The heart of the system is a 28-reel magnetic tape master file. Transactions such as meter changes, tests and new purchases are posted to the master file twice each month. The meter record is maintained on computer output microfilm and is updated twice a month, The computer system produces reports which show how many meters are owned by the company, where they are located, when they are due for test, the number of meters tested and a complete analysis of every meter tested. The installation of the computer system has resulted in a 40% reduction in the meter records section clerical force and a comparable reduction in forms preparation and handling by shop and field personnel.
