The continuous-time behaviour of a model which represents certain queues and infinite dams with correlated inputs is considered. It is shown how the transient behaviour may be investigated, and the asymptotic behaviour is obtained. Finally the methods are illustrated for a queue whose input consists of two superimposed renewal processes.
