Tokyo Gas has developed Tumsy (where do they get those names?), a mapping system based on a database of 27,000 diagrams, which it claims is the world’s largest mapping system: it runs on a DEC VAX 8600 with an 11/785 used for updating, supporting 19 online graphics terminals and plotters; another 27 terminals on the 8600 are used for retrieval machine and Tokyo Gas Engineering will sell the system to gas, water and phone utilities home and overseas; it enables maps up to 350 yards by 250 yards to be shrunk to one fiftieth size.
