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.
