Abstract: In 1976, the Metering Department of Michigan Consolidated Gas Company in Detroit was faced with a need to replace 34 modified typewriters that interfaced with bell provers to automatically prim meter intest results. The capital outlay of this replacement decision amounted to 204,000 and became the basis to evaluate other economically feasible methods to retrieve meter intest data. The results of this search and the current application of two DEC PDP-11 minicomputers to collect, record and process meter data became known as the Metering Department Information System (MDIS). MDIS operates as an extremely useful management tool. The economics, application, benefits, problems and future plans of this system are discussed in this paper.
