Digital computers were first built at Harvard University (Aiken s53 Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator, Mark I, 1939-1944) and at the University of Pennsylvania by Eckert54 and Mauchly55 (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator, ENIAC, 1946) they used vacuum tubes instead of the cumbersome and slow mechanical switches. ENIAC morphed into an Eckert-Mauchly design of BINAC, which was sold to Remington Rand and became Univac I. [Pg.550]

The Ethyl Corp. (I, p. 173) has a Remington-Rand installation for indexing the properties of fuel and lubricant additives. Both chemical structure and additive properties are coded on a single card. The use of the selective sorter, which will permit sorting in 12 adjacent columns simultaneously, and well-organized prefiling of the cards have made this an extremely workable file without the...

While the UNIVAC was still in development, the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, faced with bankruptcy, sold out to Remington-Rand in February 1950. 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 CPM was developed in 1956 by the Engineering Control Group, a design and construction unit of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. The method was programmed by the Remington Rand Corporation to run on the UNTVAC computer. The first application of CPM was construction of a 10,000,000 chemical plant in Louisville, KY in 1957. There were 800 tasks in this project... [Pg.200]
