	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: UNIVAC I
		The first UNIVAC was delivered to the United States Census Bureau on March 31, 1951 and was dedicated on June 14th that year.
		As such the UNIVAC competed directly against punch-card machines (mainly made by IBM), but oddly enough the UNIVAC originally had no means of either reading or punching cards (which initially hindered sales to some companies with large quantities of data on cards, due to potential manual conversion costs).

	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.

		The UNIVAC I was unique in that it separated the complex problems of input and output from the actual computation facility.
		The UNIVAC was used for general purpose computing with large amounts of input and output.
		Each Univac I was equipped with ten magnetic tape drives each and all were compatible, that is, tapes generated on one drive could be used on any drive.

	UNIVAC I
		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.

	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.

		The UNIVAC I computers were built by Remington Rand's UNIVAC-division (successor of the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, bought by Rand in 1950).
		The vacuum tubes used in the UNIVAC I were mostly of type 25L6, but the machine also used tubes of type 6AK5, 7AK7, 6AU6, 6BE6, 6SN7, 6X5, 28D7, 807, 829B, 2050, 5545, 5651, 5687, 6AL5, 6AN5, 6AH6, 5V4, 5R4, 4D32, 3C23, and 8008.
		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 of the characters was irrelevant.
