The UNIVAC1102 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 machine had 2700 vacuum tubes, weighed 14,000 pounds, and occupied 122 square feet of floor area.
The UNIVAC division of Remington Rand was renamed Sperry UNIVAC.
UNIVAC was one of the eight major computer companies (with IBM - the largest, Burroughs, Scientific Data Systems, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, RCA and Honeywell) through most of the 1960s.
The UNIVAC 1105 was the successor to the 1103A, and was introduced in 1958.
