The UNIVAC 1004 was a plug-board programmed punched-card data processing system, introduced in 1962 by UNIVAC. Total memory was 961 characters (6 bits per character) of core memory . Peripherals were a card reader (400 cards/minute), a card punch (200 cards/minute) using proprietary 90-column, round-hole cards or IBM-compatible, 80-column cards ...
This is a list of UNIVAC products. It ends in 1986, the year that Sperry Corporation merged with Burroughs Corporation to form Unisys as a result of a hostile takeover bid [ 1 ] launched by Burrough's CEO W. Michael Blumenthal.
The UNIVAC III, designed as an improved transistorized replacement for the vacuum tube UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II computers. The project was started by the Philadelphia division of Remington Rand UNIVAC in 1958 [1] with the initial announcement of the system been made in the Spring of 1960, [1] however as this division was heavily focused on the UNIVAC LARC project the shipment of the system was ...
The UNIVAC I at Case was still operable in 1965 but had been supplanted by a UNIVAC 1107. [citation needed] A few UNIVAC I systems stayed in service long after they were made obsolete by advancing technology. The Census Bureau used its two systems until 1963, amounting to 12 and 9 years of service, respectively.

UNIVAC II at U. S. Navy Electronics Supply Office. The UNIVAC II computer was an improvement to the UNIVAC I that the UNIVAC division of Sperry Rand first delivered in 1958. The improvements included the expansion of core memory from 2,000 to 10,000 words; UNISERVO II tape drives, which could use either the old UNIVAC I metal tapes or the new PET tapes; and some transistorized circuits ...
Although ERA and UNIVAC were run separately within the company, looking to cash in on the UNIVAC's well known name, they renamed the machine to become the "UNIVAC 1101". A series of machines based on the same basic design followed, and were sold into the 1960s before being replaced by the similar-in-name-only UNIVAC 1100 family.
The family includes the 9200, 9300, 9400, and 9480 systems. The UNIVAC 9200 and 9300 were marketed as functional replacements for the UNIVAC 1004 and as direct competitors to the IBM 360/20. The printer-processor is one cabinet, the power supply and memory another and the card reader and optional card punch make an L-shaped configuration.
