UnivacScope and Content
We created this explanatory, educational overview of the 1951 UNIVAC 1 to show in more detail many of its basic components. Intro segment includes higher quality images than are contained in the original 1953 film. The 1953 film begins at index 5:52, followed by brief photo gallery. UNIVAC was the first mass produced business computer in the U.S., and opened the door to a successful line of commercial computing machines. The historical data in the film is well worth preserving and the introductory images may help add some clarity. Compilation by the Computer History Archives Project.
