  UNIVAC Summary
UNIVAC was the first commercial computer to use stored programs, in which the computer reads the program from storage into its memory and follows its instructions to process data.
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 FASTRAND II
If the sector size is a power of two, address computation, such as figuring out which sector to read and which word within it to access when presented with a word address in a file, can be done entirely by shifting and masking, which is almost always much faster than multiplying or dividing.
Since the UNIVAC 1100 series machines to which the FASTRAND II was connected used 36-bit words rather than 8-bit bytes, it isn't possible to precisely compare the capacity of a device such as the FASTRAND II with contemporary byte-oriented disc drives.
When UNIVAC adopted ASCII in the 1100 series, they stored 4 characters in the four 9-bit fields of each 36-bit word, so the capacity of a FASTRAND II in terms of ASCII characters would be 88 megabytes.
