Computer History: Exploring UNIVAC 1 Components in Hi-Def (tube, PCB, electronics)

Computer History UNIVAC 1 – High Resolution images highlight this informal compilation of UNIVAC 1 modules and components. Shown are various modules, board components, mercury memory tanks and other aspects of the machine, and a comparison of 1951 UNIVAC 1 circuit boards with those of later models up through the 1960’s. Not a lot of narrative, but good quality images of system components. {Spoiler alert: Several 1952 video clips included for historical reference are Not in “HD.”} If you like board-level components and early tech, you may find these images interesting. Run time: 9 minutes. Enjoy, and stay well! Acknowledgements and Sources: With sincere thanks to UNISYS Corporation, owner of the UNIVAC trademark and trade name.
