Narrative:
I worked local control position #1. The other local control position #2 asked for permission for a left base entry for aircraft Y. I approved this request. Aircraft Y on left base never called me on my frequency. It entered left base and almost hit my left downwind traffic, aircraft X. This tower, having 2 local control positions and only 1 runway, does not work. The pilots do not call and report when they are supposed to. With no BRITE I cannot see them in time.
