  UNIVAC - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The UNIVAC division of Remington Rand was renamed the Univac division of Sperry Rand.
The UNIVAC 1105 was the successor to the 1103A, and was introduced in 1958.
The 1107 was the first 36-bit, word-oriented machine with an architecture close to that which came to be known as that of the "1100 Series." It ran the EXEC II operating system, a batch-oriented second-generation operating system, typical of the early to mid-1960s.

The high speed printer was derived directly from a printer used on the UNIVAC I. Its hammers were driven by a bank of thyratron (gas-filled power switching) tubes which were visible when the back of the printer was removed.
The Case 1107 was one of the first computers on Earth to provide access from remote locations both at other locations on the campus and as far afield as Erie, Pennsylvania.

The notoriously famous original UNIVAC I of the Census Bureau was moved to the Smithsonian Institute to preserve as a forefather of the computer revolution.
UNIVAC 1 however proved to be a beautiful piece of computing equipment, much beloved by many of the people who were fortunate enough to rub shoulders with it.

 UNIVAC Memories
The first computer I ever used was a UNIVAC 1107, and for more than a decade stretching from 1967 through 1978, most of my programming was oriented toward those machines, spanning four generations of hardware: the 1107, 1108, 1110, and 1100/80 (which I used briefly to develop microprocessor software).
UNIVAC 1100 machines used one's complement representation of negative numbers, as opposed to the two's complement form almost universal today.
Programmers of UNIVAC 1100 mainframes in the 1960's through the mid 1970's exalted in discovering clever ways to squeeze the most out of machines which, by today's standards, would be considered hopelessly slow and short of memory.

 UNIVAC FAQ
One reason UNIVAC became popular is that it was shown on television in 1952 to predict the presidential election.
Another reason the UNIVAC became famous is that it was the first computer to be "mass produced" and although only 46 of the first model were made, many other computers in the Remington Rand (later Sperry Rand) line used the name UNIVAC also.

 UNIVAC 1108
The UNIVAC 1108 was the second member of Sperry Rand's UNIVAC 1100 series of computers, introduced in 1964.
Integrated circuits replaced the thin film magnetic memory that the UNIVAC 1107 used for register storage.
Just as the first UNIVAC 1108 systems were being delivered in 1965, Sperry Rand announced the UNIVAC 1108 II (also known as the UNIVAC 1108A) which had support for multiprocessing: up to three CPUs, four memory banks totaling 262,144 words, and two independent programmable input/output controllers (IOCs).

 Compiling SIMULA
Ever since Univac's offer was first known to NTNF in June 1962, they had emphasized the fact that an engagement involving such a heavy investment would necessarily imply that the bulk of NCC's available resources had to be directed strictly towards the business side of the institute's activities.
It is evident, however, that the 1107 engagement restricted research latitude in general, and gave way for a professional profile which, at least to a certain extent, resembled the situation before 1960.
Univac was not unanimous in its reactions to the new SIMULA compiler.

The advanced features of the UNIVAC 1107 and the B5000 presented an opportunity for Sperry Rand and Burroughs to upgrade them and move quickly into the marketplace.
Sperry Rand announced the UNIVAC 1108 in the summer of 1964 and delivered the first one in late 1965.
Just as the first UNIVAC 1108s were being delivered, Sperry Rand announced the 1108 II (also referred to as the 1108A) which had been modified to support multiprocessing.

It is worth noticing that Univac at the time knew that NCC had already ordered a GIER computer from Denmark.24 In this regard their initiative must be understood as an attempt to subvert the GIER order by offering NCC a better contract.
In this respect it can be asserted that the UNIVAC 1107 came to represent a double- edged sword, at least as far as basic research activities were concerned.

The EXEC II is a serial, batch-oriented (qv) operating system first developed for the UNIVAC 1107 by the Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC).
In 1962 system programmers working for Remington Rand UNIVAC under Bob Bemer began writing what they intended to be a multiprogramming operating system for its new 1107 mainframe computer.
The EXEC II Operating System was easily ported to the improved UNIVAC 1108 mainframe (first delivered in 1965), and became popular worldwide in the absence of comparable, field-tested software systems for IBM and General Electric mainframes.

Unisys has a long history, dating back as far as 1873, but it was not until 1960 when their first mainframe computer system was launched: the Sperry Rand UNIVAC 1100 Series.
Further models followed with the introduction of dual and multiprocessors up until 1984 when the A series was launched, a forerunner of the current ClearPath HMP NX System.
Further enhancements were made until in 1995 ClearPath heterogeneous multi-processing was launched which allowed A series and 2200 series applications and databases to run with UnixWare and Windows NT applications and databases on a single platform.

In return for this generous offer however, Univac wanted NCC to provide them with SIMULA and an implementation of the linear programming system developed by Sverre Spurkland.23
Since the SIMULA project, in his opinion, was very much worth doing, he had already authorized the necessary funding of the project.28 Evidence of Univac's sustained interest in SIMULA is found in a letter from Univac to Kristen Nygaard dated 23 October, 1964:
Whereas the intention had been that this should be both an ALGOL and a SIMULA compiler, it soon became apparent that the differences between these languages and their respective implementation techniques made such a unification impractical.65
