[Recorded 1960]
This humorous promotional film for the Remington Rand UNIVAC computer features J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly in leading roles. Produced in 1960, the film outlines the earlier history of computing leading to the development and application of the UNIVAC computer.
J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, the major figures in the creation of the ENIAC computer, left the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Engineering at the end of WWII to found their own firm. They had hoped to be the first to exploit the new concept of the electronic stored program computer, but were hampered by a lack of funds and, to some extent, by the bureaucracy surrounding their only major customer, the Census Bureau. They sought other investors but never had enough to properly complete their projects.
They eventually sold their business to Remington Rand (later Sperry Rand) who incorporated it as the UNIVAC division of the company. Eckert remained with UNIVAC all his life but Mauchly left after a few years to become a private consultant.
Remington Rand's Univac Division produced some of the earliest commercially available machines ahead of more famous firms such as IBM. The large management structure of the company often frustrated their engineers, many of whom left to found other very influential computer firms (e.g. Control Data Corporation). This bureaucracy is thought by many (including their Vice President, J. Presper Eckert) to have eventually limited their ability to take advantage of rapidly changing technology and to lose the lead to other firms such as IBM.
In 1955 the Sperry Corporation and Remington Rand merged forming Sperry Rand. Sperry Rand then eventually merged with Burroughs to from Unisys and is still in business. You can learn about computing history at the Computer History Museum website: www.computerhistory.org
UNIVAC is one of the earliest commercial computers and was easily the most famous computer of the 1950s. This film, produced between 1950 and 1952, shows how the UNIVAC computer was used in business, defense and by the census. The film shows several of the important portions of the UNIVAC system at work, including the high-speed printer, the UNISERVO tape drive, the UNITYPER, card readers and the mercury delay line tanks that served as main memory. The programming process is fully discussed and a business problem is demonstrated. These films served a promotional film as well as a way to demystify computers to the average person.

An incredible commercial from the early 1950s featuring the Remington Rand UNIVAC System. This clip has some VERY rare footage of a UNIVAC in action in Remington Rand's New York Computing Center with a brief explanation of the major parts of the UNIVAC system. Just wait till you see the input panel they used for a keyboard!
This particular commercial spotlights the UNIVAC's weather forecasting capability using satellite and rocket telemetry data. It also highlights some of the outstanding (for the time) features of this super computer such as magnetic tapes that transfer data at a rate of "12,000 numbers per second" and Memory Tanks with "12,000 additional units of information"... All of which is connected to the Central Computer capable of making "over 2,000 calculations per second."
UNIVAC had no screen for display. It output to a very fast line printer capable of up to 600 lines per minute, which you can briefly see in action in this commercial. You also see the output from a self-diagnostic routine which shows various printed results such as "memory clear", "register ok", "unit 1 ok", "unit 2 ok", "unit 3 ok".
The four basic UNIVAC models available at the time are mentioned... (1) The General Purpose UNIVAC, (2) the UNIVAC Scentific, (3) the UNIVAC File Computer, and (4) the UNIVAC Punch Card Computer. "Each of them capable of literally hundreds of applications, from weather forecasting to complete business control."
This is an amazing video artifact from the days when there were probably less than 100 computers in the entire world!

This very early micro computer was built by the Univac Research & Development Division in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1972. It was built around the Intel SIM8-01 development system which is also called the MCS-8 computer. It features a very early SIM8-01 board which was ordered in April of 1972. Construction of the computer took place in the summer of 1972 and by the fall, the computer was being programmed and demonstrated to internal Univac groups and the military. This makes this computer the earliest known 8-bit system to be completed and operational.The computer interface was designed by Univac and the system includes the main computer, a PROM Programming unit, and a Teletype for Input/Output functions. I bought it at an electronics swap meet in Minneapolis in 1980 from a Univac engineer who was also an active member of the Univac Computer Club. The case is thick, red translucent plastic and very well designed and fabricated. This is one of the earliest operational 8-bit microcomputers and a great example of the initial wave of micros inspired by the Intel SIM8-01 board.
A few years ago, posted another video about it on You Tube before I knew the back ground of it. The URL is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG6goCIWCYY

Mercury was used because the acoustic impedance of mercury is almost exactly the same as that of the piezoelectric quartz crystals; this minimized the energy loss and the echoes when the signal was transmitted from crystal to medium and back again. The high speed of sound in mercury (1450 m/s) meant that the time needed to wait for a pulse to arrive at the receiving end was less than it would have been a slower medium,

UNIVAC is the name of a business unit and division of the Remington Rand company formed by the 1950 purchase of the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, founded four years earlier by ENIAC inventors J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, and the associated line of computers which continues to this day in one of the two such lines offered by Unisys. Unisys was formed when Burroughs (whose line of computers form the other Unisys mainframe legacy line) bought Sperry which held the evolved UNIVAC division. UNIVAC is an acronym for UNIVersal Automatic Computer.
Eckert and Mauchly built the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering between 1943 and 1946. A 1946 patent rights dispute with the university led Eckert and Mauchly to depart the Moore School to form the Electronic Control Company, later renamed Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC), based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That company first built a computer called BINAC (BINary Automatic Computer) for Northrop Aviation (which was little used, or perhaps not at all). Afterwards began the development of UNIVAC. UNIVAC was first intended for the Bureau of the Census, which paid for much of the development, and then was put in production.

[Recorded 1960]
This humorous promotional film for the Remington Rand UNIVAC computer features J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly in leading roles. Produced in 1960, the film outlines the earlier history of computing leading to the development and application of the UNIVAC computer.
J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, the major figures in the creation of the ENIAC computer, left the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Engineering at the end of WWII to found their own firm. They had hoped to be the first to exploit the new concept of the electronic stored program computer, but were hampered by a lack of funds and, to some extent, by the bureaucracy surrounding their only major customer, the Census Bureau. They sought other investors but never had enough to properly complete their projects.
They eventually sold their business to Remington Rand (later Sperry Rand) who incorporated it as the UNIVAC division of the company. Eckert remained with UNIVAC all his life but Mauchly left after a few years to become a private consultant.
Remington Rand's Univac Division produced some of the earliest commercially available machines ahead of more famous firms such as IBM. The large management structure of the company often frustrated their engineers, many of whom left to found other very influential computer firms (e.g. Control Data Corporation). This bureaucracy is thought by many (including their Vice President, J. Presper Eckert) to have eventually limited their ability to take advantage of rapidly changing technology and to lose the lead to other firms such as IBM.
In 1955 the Sperry Corporation and Remington Rand merged forming Sperry Rand. Sperry Rand then eventually merged with Burroughs to from Unisys and is still in business. You can learn about computing history at the Computer History Museum website: www.computerhistory.org

An incredible commercial from the early 1950s featuring the Remington Rand UNIVAC System. This clip has some VERY rare footage of a UNIVAC in action in Remington Rand's New York Computing Center with a brief explanation of the major parts of the UNIVAC system. Just wait till you see the input panel they used for a keyboard!
This particular commercial spotlights the UNIVAC's weather forecasting capability using satellite and rocket telemetry data. It also highlights some of the outstanding (for the time) features of this super computer such as magnetic tapes that transfer data at a rate of "12,000 numbers per second" and Memory Tanks with "12,000 additional units of information"... All of which is connected to the Central Computer capable of making "over 2,000 calculations per second."
UNIVAC had no screen for display. It output to a very fast line printer capable of up to 600 lines per minute, which you can briefly see in action in this commercial. You also see the output from a self-diagnostic routine which shows various printed results such as "memory clear", "register ok", "unit 1 ok", "unit 2 ok", "unit 3 ok".
The four basic UNIVAC models available at the time are mentioned... (1) The General Purpose UNIVAC, (2) the UNIVAC Scentific, (3) the UNIVAC File Computer, and (4) the UNIVAC Punch Card Computer. "Each of them capable of literally hundreds of applications, from weather forecasting to complete business control."
This is an amazing video artifact from the days when there were probably less than 100 computers in the entire world!

This very early micro computer was built by the Univac Research & Development Division in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1972. It was built around the Intel SIM8-01 development system which is also called the MCS-8 computer. It features a very early SIM8-01 board which was ordered in April of 1972. Construction of the computer took place in the summer of 1972 and by the fall, the computer was being programmed and demonstrated to internal Univac groups and the military. This makes this computer the earliest known 8-bit system to be completed and operational.The computer interface was designed by Univac and the system includes the main computer, a PROM Programming unit, and a Teletype for Input/Output functions. I bought it at an electronics swap meet in Minneapolis in 1980 from a Univac engineer who was also an active member of the Univac Computer Club. The case is thick, red translucent plastic and very well designed and fabricated. This is one of the earliest operational 8-bit microcomputers and a great example of the initial wave of micros inspired by the Intel SIM8-01 board.
A few years ago, posted another video about it on You Tube before I knew the back ground of it. The URL is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG6goCIWCYY

Mercury was used because the acoustic impedance of mercury is almost exactly the same as that of the piezoelectric quartz crystals; this minimized the energy loss and the echoes when the signal was transmitted from crystal to medium and back again. The high speed of sound in mercury (1450 m/s) meant that the time needed to wait for a pulse to arrive at the receiving end was less than it would have been a slower medium,

Halb eins
Stuttgart-Mitte es ist Samstagnacht
ich hab en Babe mit mir Mädchen aus der Nachbarschaft sie fand
die Action
geil überall der Eintritt frei die Diva von der ersten Liga
hatte auch ihr
Shiva
dabei wir rockten fett ab
in jeden Club der Innenstadt jeder fragte wer ist
die da ne Schlampe wie sie jeder hat ? auf keinen fall schau sie
dir an
und dann erzähl mir das sie keine Lady ist sie lässt nicht
jeden ran das
gelalle von
den Leuten ging mir auf die Eier es war kein Spaß denn wir
hatten auf zur
nächsten Feier nochn Tankstellenstop brauchte Papers und noch
mehr ich
kaufte uns zwei Piccolos das gefiel
ihr sehr fanden uns bei ihr wieder Zeit für einen
riesen Weeda setz dich nieder der Plattenspieler
spielte nur noch sanfte Lieder ich war zu schüchtern vielleicht
zu
nüchtern weil ich sie mag sie schlief ein ich ging Heim baby
schöner Tag
Hook
ich wollt es wär so einfach doch ich weiss das ich dich nicht
allein hab
siehst du Himmel lügst du blaues ich kann dir nicht trauen
tausend Phrasen
tausend
Frauen was soll ich dir glauben ?
Schaue in denn Spiegel ey mein neuer Pulli steht mir gut damit
geh ich
raus wie man das mit neuen
sachen tut chille in der nachbarschaft ich treff sie wieder die
Diva mit
den vielen Shiva damals aus der geilen Nacht nervös im kopf
feucht die hände
Haare
- heute blonde schwarzes top minirock
mann sie war die bombe ich merkte sie gefällt mir sehr dachte
mann da geht

lange her
mein phone schwieg blieb auch still hängte ab mit Lauryn Hill
und wenn es
klingelte dann war sie's eh nicht ey mann ich chill leb leben
