Mr. Anthony Wedgwood Benn, the Minister of Technology, launching the International Reservations' computerised hotel booking service from the Carlton Tower hotel. By this system a hotel reservation can be booked in seconds for hotels in Great Britain or the United States, merely by making a call to a reservation office. There will be reservation offices established in Birmingham, Glasgow, London and Manchester. A girl reservationist feeds the enquiry into a computer which is linked by direct high speed lines to a National Coal Board's two IBM 360/50 computers at Cannock, Staffordshire. These are programmed to register the room availability of those hotels subscribing to the system. An immediate firm booking can be made or room availability given. The computerised part of the operation takes only 15 seconds.
