 K. Ryan Weston - CS3604 Assignment #2 - 1997
While UNIVAC was still a dinosuar compared to today's pentiums and workstations, it was the next best thing since sliced bread in 1951, when it was used to tally part of the 1950 U.S. population census, drastically reducing the workload of the human tabulators usually required to work excrutiatingly long hours on the job.
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 was to the technological advancement of our society what ships were to the seafarers of the fifteenth century, and much like them, we press forever onward, taking what those before us have learned and striving to go further and farther than our predecessors.

 Remington Rand 409
The Remington Rand 409 plugboard programmed punch card calculator, first introduced in 1949, was sold in two models: the UNIVAC 60 and the UNIVAC 120.
These machines were discontinued when the UNIVAC 1004 was introduced.
Little more can be said on these machines as Univac destroyed all the records on both the design and production of these machines.

In June 1951, the UNIVAC I (Universal Automatic Computer) was delivered to the U.S. Census Bureau.
UNIVAC was the first 'mass produced' computer; all predecessors had been 'one-off' units.
The 409 evolved to become the Univac 60 and 120 computer in 1953.

 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.
Univac was not unanimous in its reactions to the new SIMULA compiler.
[8] ALGOL 60 represents a milestone in the history of programming languages, and during the 60s and 70s this language was the prime source of most theoretical work related to compiler design and development.

He was a programmer on the UNIVAC I (serial #1) used at the Census Bureau in 1951 and finished his UNIVAC I work at Nashville, Tennessee in 1970 as VP of their Data Processing Department.
UNIVAC I 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.
There was a ripcord in the UNIVAC I that you pulled to remove power from the UNIVAC I in the event you developed a emergency while on maintenance, like removing your leg from one of the two large and powerful cooling fans before they amputated it.

The elegant and powerful concepts of this language appealed to Dahl and Nygaard and made it, in their opinion, the perfect match for SIMULA.9 The crucial decision of linking SIMULA to ALGOL 60 was made during the spring of 1962, and would later prove to be both an enormous strength and a serious obstacle.
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 first UNIVAC passed its formal acceptance test on March 29-30, 1951 and was turned over to the Census Bureau, which operated it in the factory for nearly a year.
The UNIVAC had the ability to store the control counter value in memory, making it possible for the flow of a program to go to a subprogram and then return to where it was in the main program.
Early in the design of the UNIVAC system, Eckert and Mauchly had recognized that for the computer to be useful in handling the large volumes of data used in many business applications, such as payroll of inventory control, it would need to have a high speed input/output system.

The 60/120 portion of the title was a statement of memory size: 60 positions of memory versus 120 positions of memory.
The new program's primary objective was to develop a replacement for the Univac 60/120 computer which had reached the end of its life.
The life and marketability of the Univac 1004 was greatly enhanced by converting external plugboard programming to internal programming.

 COMPILING SIMULA
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
