  Engineering Research Associates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Engineering Research Associates, commonly known as ERA, was a pioneering computer firm from the 1950s.
ERA looked to selling similar machines to a number of customers, but at about this time they became embroiled in a lengthy series of political maneuvering in Washington, in which the Navy was criticized for running ERA as if it were their own private company.
In 1989, the "new" ERA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of E-Systems.

ERA was more familiar with drum memory technology, and in fact had done design studies for IBM and NBS in 1949-1950 for drum memory computers, neither of which was built.
ERA hoped to run it as a service bureau for organizations which had computer work to be done and created an advertising brochure to drum up business.
Parker estimated that ERA would have to raise between $5 million and $10 million in capital in order to expand its role in the computer market beyond that of a supplier of custom-built projects for government agencies, and he did not regard that as likely to happen.

 UNIVAC 1102 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UNIVAC 1102 or ERA 1102 was designed by Engineering Research Associates for the United States Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center in Tullahoma, Tennessee in response to a request for proposal issued in 1950.
The 1102 was a variant of the UNIVAC 1101, using its 24 bit word and a smaller (only 8192 words) drum memory.
The computers were connected to data channels coming from the wind tunnels and the engine facility.

Engineering Research Associates (ERA) origins can be traced to the classified World War II-era Navy project to break the German secret codes by using electronic data processing.
Engineering Research Associates' (ERA) origins can be traced to a classified World War II era Navy project which recruited highly skilled cryptologists, mathematicians, engineers, and physicists to break German and Japanese codes in order to pinpoint the movements of their ships.
During this project, ERA personnel was given access to classified government reports and worked with computer pioneers John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, inventors of the ENIAC, and John von Neumann, of Princeton University's Institute for Advanced Study.

The features noted above, and other refinements such as the small camera strapped to the researcher's forehead to photograph anything he or she looked at, were more or less feasible individually with the technology of 1939, although combining them into a single workstation would probably not have been practical.
Two leading scientists from the Kodak Research Laboratories, Samuel Edward Sheppard and Adrian Peter Herman Trivelli, attended the 1931 Congress, were personal friends of Goldberg, and would presumably have seen the prototype demonstrated.
