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 ...
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.
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 A-0 system (Arithmetic Language version 0) was an early [1] compiler related tool developed for electronic computers, written by Grace Murray Hopper [2] in 1951 and 1952 originally for the UNIVAC I. [3]
The UNIVAC 1103A or Univac Scientific is an upgraded version introduced in March 1956. [8] [9] [1] [page needed] Significant new features on the 1103A were its magnetic-core memory and the addition of interrupts to the processor. [10] The UNIVAC 1103A had up to 12,288 words of 36-bit magnetic core memory, in one to three banks of 4,096 words each.

After a meeting in January 1964 with representatives from Univac and the Naval Air Development Center, contracts worth almost $2 million [3] were awarded to Univac Defense Systems Division to engineer, build and test the first digital 30-bit Airborne computer, the CP-823/U (Univac 1830) engineering prototype, for the A-NEW MOD3 test aircraft.
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 ...
