 | | The UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer I) was the first commercial computer made in the United States. | | | The UNIVAC 1104 computer system was a 30-bit version of the UNIVAC 1103 built for Westinghouse Electric, in 1957, for use on the BOMARC Missile Program. | | | The UNIVAC Solid State was a 2-address, bi-quinary coded decimal computer, with memory on a rotating drum with 5000 signed 10 digit words. |

| | UNIVAC 1103 and 1105: The 1103 was the first "scientific" computer, and its users established USE as an organization to share software. | | | Scientific computers, such as the UNIVAC 1103A and 1105 operated in pure binary, with instructions for both fixed and floating-point arithmetic, but none for decimal. | | | UNIVAC's edge over IBM in easy timesharing access also facilitated program conversions: program card decks could be read into disk files and changed with the ED processor, which seemed very powerful at the time. |

| | 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. | | | This was enormously favorable publicity for the UNIVAC I, and for several years the name UNIVAC was synonymous with computer in the public mind. | | | Later computers would be designed with electronic circuits to perform calculations on numbers in floating-point format, but the UNIVAC did not have hardware instructions of this sort. |

| | In 1955, Remington merged with Sperry Gyroscopes to form the Sperry-Rand Corporation, and in 1956 the 1103 was supplemented by the markedly smaller UNIVAC "File Computer". | | | After the top secret development effort of the 1940s [see Part 3], a number of civilian General Purpose Computers (GPCs) were delivered more or less simultaneously in the early 1950s, led by the Ferranti Mark I and the LEO I in February 1951, and followed closely by the US Census Bureau's UNIVAC in March 1951. | | | This breakthrough for the broadcasting and home entertainment industries was not lost on the emerging data processing industry, and magnetic tape readers and writers were included on the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation's BINAC development in around 1949, and then on the 1951 UNIVAC, proving faster and more reliable than the earlier paper tape systems. |
