UNIVAC computer memory, 1950s. Operator attaching wires to memory for the UNIVAC 1103 computer. This was also known as the ERA 1103 as it was designed by Engineering Research Associates. The UNIVAC 1103 was built in October 1953 and was a successor to the UNIVAC 1101. The device seen here is a form of what is known as drum memory. UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer) was a series of computers built from 1951 onwards, with UNIVAC models demonstrating key advances in computing made in the 1950s and 1960s. The name UNIVAC was used by a number of computing companies. This photograph is from the UNIVAC Division of the Sperry Rand Corporation. The use of the name UNIVAC was discontinued in the 1980s.
