UNIVAC is one of the earliest commercial computers and was easily the most famous computer of the 1950s. This film, produced between 1950 and 1952, shows how the UNIVAC computer was used in business, defense and by the census. The film shows several of the important portions of the UNIVAC system at work, including the high-speed printer, the UNISERVO tape drive, the UNITYPER, card readers and the mercury delay line tanks that served as main memory. The programming process is fully discussed and a business problem is demonstrated. These films served a promotional film as well as a way to demystify computers to the average person.

I thought Colossus was a analog computer, more a machine, like the differential analyser. Colossus was the one used at Bletchly Park in London for code breaking, right?

Oh, good old times! Coding by hand and smoking at work! Sure you can't beat that.
