		The first UNIVAC was delivered to the United States Census Bureau on March 31, 1951 and was dedicated on June 14th that year.
		This was corrected by adding offline card processing equipment, the UNIVAC Card to Tape converter and the UNIVAC Tape to Card converter, to transfer data between cards and UNIVAC magnetic tapes.

	UNIVAC I
		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.
		Data was recorded in eight channels on the tape (six for the data value, one parity channel for error checking, and one timing channel) at a density of 128 characters per linear inch of tape.

		Data on punched cards was transcribed to magnetic tape with a card-to-tape converter.
		Magnetic tape was the principal input medium and was also used for permanent storage of data.
		Data on output tapes was transcribed to punched cards by a tape-to-card converter or to printed copy by a printer.

	Univac 1 Computer System
		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.
		The tension on the tape at rest was held by two electronic servos that sensed the positions of the two tape loops in the tape path.
		It was easier on the tape because it eliminated the two tape loop pulleys on the bottom of the loops.

	Early Interactions between the Life Insurance and Computer Industries
		Magnetic tape information must be converted to readable copy by a slow one-character-at-a-time typewriter which is actuated by a magnetic tape reading mechanism and, because of the relatively high printing cost involved through use of such a machine, it does not appear to be very useful on a large volume of such work.
		These three cards consolidated what had previously been 10 different cards or files of various sorts (other check-off and accounting cards were created as by-products of the process, but these cards were intended to be destroyed as soon as they had served their control purposes).
		IBM and the Univac division of Remington Rand were exhibiting equipment and sitting in the audience at the Special Meeting of the Society of Actuaries where the 1952 report was presented.

		UNIVAC 1005: The 1005 went to war: at least one was used in South Vietnam, and another was in the Pentagon.
		The input job streams and card data were written to tape on the 1401, and then the tapes were taken to the 7090.
		UNIVAC's edge over IBM in easy timesharing access also facilitated program conversions: program card decks could be read into disk files and changed with the ED processor, which seemed very powerful at the time.

		'UNIVAC I' The 'UNIVAC I' ''('UNIV'ersal 'A'utomatic 'C'omputer 'I')'' was the first commercial computer made in the United States, and the third commercial computer worldwide (after the German Z4 and the British Ferranti Mark I).It was designed principally by J.
		But with the exception of one or two machine instructions, UNIVAC was considered by programmers to be a decimal machine, not a binary machine, and the binary representation f the characters was irrelevant.
		Backward and forward tape read and write operations were oossible on the UNIVAC and were fully overlapped with instruction execution, permitting high system throughput in typical sort/merge data processing applications.

	Computer History
		J Presper Eckert and John Mauchly were prepared to absorb any overrun in costs in hopes of recouping from future service contracts, but the economics of the situation brought the inventors to the edge of bankruptcy.
		The speed with which UNIVAC's magnetic tape could input data was faster than IBM's punch card technology, but it was not until the presidential election of 1952 that the public accepted the UNIVAC's abilities.
		In a publicity stunt, the UNIVAC computer was used to predict the results of the Eisenhower-Stevenson presidential race.

		The Census Bureau operated the first UNIVAC I in the Philadelphia factory for nearly a year before it was dismantled, shipped to the Census office in Washington, and reassembled.
		It did donate UNIVACs to Harvard University (in 1956) and to the University of Pennsylvania and Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland (in 1957).
		One of the most interesting uses of the UNIVAC I was to prepare the first concordance of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible in 1956.

		The tape reels alone were more than 15" in diameter with each tape unit holding two reels -- a feed and takeup reel.
		And, for those of us old enough to remember, all programming was done by punchcards which were keyed first with the programming (each function on a separate card), then fed into a reader that told the computer how to run the program.
		UNIVAC has been, over the years, a registered trademark of Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, Remington Rand Corporation, Sperry Rand Corporation, Sperry Corporation, and Unisys Corporation.

		Their next project was the BINAC computer, for which Lukoff had created the electronic control for the magnetic tape handler for input and output of data.
		In addition, Lukoff was also responsible for the production engineering of two auxiliary systems-that of the card to tape converter and the high speed printer.
		During this period he directed the development of the Univac III and Univac 1050 data processing systems and the Fastrand I mass storage and the Uniservo III-C magnetic tape systems.
