Abstract: THE American Natural Gas System is a completely integrated system. Tt is comprised of six wholly-owned subsidiary companies: Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line Company, Michigan Consolidated Gas Company, Wisconsin Gas Company, Central Indiana Gas Company, a production company, and a service company. In addition we have a 50% equity in the Great Lakes Transmission Company, which delivers Canadian gas to our system. With 8,700 employees, 28.000 miles of pipeline and 600,000 installed horsepower, the System serves 1,600 communities with an area population of 7% million people. Much of our activity is computerized, with our first system dating back to the early 50s. Twelve years ago the engineering activity obtained a simple, digital Bendix G15 computer for engineerings use. Having this computer for their exclusive use, our engineers used it and used it effectively. They used to bang around and get the answers. We were involved in rapid expansion of our pipeline system. Having our system and other pipeline systems programmed permitted us to check more alternate design options and to optimize our system.
