Production continued under Remington-Rand, and the first UNIVAC was delivered to the Census Bureau in March 1951. Two more were shipped within 18 months, and by 1957, when the UNIVAC II was introduced, 43 more UNIVACs had been produced for sale to both government and Indus-... [Pg.6]

The purpose of this project in the words of its Director was to develop and construct a fully automatic, digital, all-purpose electronic calculating machine... which if intelligently used, will completely revolutionize our computing techniques, or to formulate it more broadly, the field of approximation mathematics (/5). Following the ENIAC dedication the next February, Goldstine and Burks joined the IAS Project. Eckert and Mauchly subsequently left the Moore School to establish their own company, the Electronic Control Company, which later became the Eckert Mauchly Computer Corporation and, ultimately, the UNIVAC division of Sperry Rand. [Pg.273]
