(Department 3) Inspection has a time machine. This is a series of baskets advanced one basket every morning. A carbon of an order is placed in today's basket. When the original comes in, the carbon is dug out of the basket (by date and color flash) and original and carbon are clipped together and routed to the issuing executive. Orders not complied with in one week of course fall off the time machine by appearing in the basket being emptied today. (It was filed one week ago and advanced once each day.) A copy is made of the order and it is sent to Ethics for filing in the staff member's ethics folder and counts as a report against the staff member. The carbon is returned to issuing executive to show his order has not been complied with, so that he can handle the situation. (HCO PL 1 May 65 II)
