		UNIVAC serves as the catch-all name for the American manufacturers of the lines of mainframe computers by that name, which through mergers and acquisitions underwent numerous name changes.
		With the death of EMCC's chairman and chief financial backer Harry L. Straus in a plane crash on October 25, 1949, EMCC was sold to typewriter maker Remington Rand on February 15, 1950.
		In the 1960s, UNIVAC was one of the eight major computer companies in an industry then referred to as "Snow White and the seven dwarfs"—IBM, the largest, being Snow White and the others being the dwarfs: Burroughs, NCR, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, RCA and Honeywell.

		UNIVAC 1103 and 1105: The 1103 was the first "scientific" computer, and its users established USE as an organization to share software.
		UNIVAC 1005: The 1005 went to war: at least one was used in South Vietnam, and another was in the Pentagon.
		The early large-scale computers, such as the UNIVAC I and 1103 and the IBM 701 and 704 were very expensive, selling for one or two million dollars, back in the mid-1950s, when, as we well know, a dollar was worth much more than it is now.

		The UNIVAC File Computer was sometimes regarded as a rival which delayed the introduction of the UNIVAC Solid State computer, but it would be unfortunate for the File Computer to be remembered only in that way, because it was a very innovative machine.
		Magnetic drum memory was slower and cheaper than the mercury memory of the UNIVAC I and the electrostatic memory of the UNIVAC 1103 and IBM 701.
		UNIVAC did produce transistor computers with generally similar characteristics, namely the 490 and the 418 families, but there was no easy migration path.

		In the case of the 1103, that word length was supported by 37 (count 'em!) Williams tubes, one of which provided a parity bit.
		Later, when the machine was moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it was modified to have an index register, and a four-bit opcode field; programs written for the original design, and using only the first 8 K of memory, were originally compatible with the upgraded design.
		Computers which accompanied data bits in memory with a "flag" bit which was significant to the programmer (parity bits, of course, are irrelevant) were excluded as well, so this eliminated the IBM 1401 and the much more recent BIT 483.

		The almost unbelievable feats of Remington Rand Univac in computing, sorting, classifying and reporting business data enable management executives to formulate “fact-powered” decisions in the merest fraction of the time previously required.
		Univac is just as effective in a job like payroll preparation or cost distribution as it is in complex statistical and mathematical projects.
		In addition to Univac, the universal electronic computer, Remington Rand manufactures a complete range of electronic computing instruments to meet the requirements, large or small, of both business and science.

		They wanted to show that it had capabilities which were different from those of Philadelphia's UNIVAC I. Their presentation compared the 1103 with IBM's first computer, the 701, which had been announced in May of that year.
		James Rand came in late in the presentation and apparently was taken with the idea that the 1103 was a worthy rival to the 701.
		Based on his experience, "the 1103 was clearly a superior machine [to the IBM 701] in every respect." The gift of computer time was renewed for the 1956-57 year.

		The Univac 120 may be adjusted at the time of installation to operate from 208, 220, or 230 volts, alternating current, providing the regulation of the power source can be held to plus or minus 5,% of any of the above voltages.
		Cost of initial 1103 installation was also under $30,000 since the 1103 series equipment is provided with a raised floor plenum and air handler.

		The specialization is easily described: It is a communication computer with the messages being characters (since they are built for business), and with the large memory (the file) being considered to be part of the system.
		Although this does not distort the picture too strongly in terms of total movements of the field, since IBM dominated the market, concurrent developments were taking place throughout the field.
		UNIVAC I was the first computer built by a manufacturer and did not have the idiosyncrasies we ascribe to IBM; on the other hand, the marketing effort for it was nil.

		The UNIVAC I was so important that historians call it the beginning of the "first generation".
		To program the UNIVAC I, you had to put the program onto magnetic tape (by using a non-computerized machine), feed that tape to the computer, and wait for the computer to vomit another magnetic tape, which you had to run through another machine to find out what the tape said.
		UNIVAC’s manufacturer and IBM started playing around with a different kind of memory, called the Williams tube, which was faster (10 to 50 microseconds); but since it was less reliable, it didn’t sell well.

		Short for Universal Automatic Computer, the UNIVAC I, a trademark of the Unisys corporation, was released in 1951 and 1952.
		The UNIVAC is an electrical computer containing thousands of vacuum tubes that utilizes punch cards and switches for inputting data and punch cards for outputting and storing data.
		The UNIVAC was later released the UNIVAC II, and III with various models, such as the 418, 490, 491, 1100, 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104, 1105, 1106, 1107, and 1108.
