Late 1960's video showing the Sperry UNIVAC data processing facility in Twin Cities, Minnesota, manufacturing the UNIVAC 1108 computer. Great footage of creating a CORE Memory block, and manufacturing of Printed Circuit Boards ( PCB ), and the quality assurance lab in action. The original film was a bit rough, but cleaned it up as much as possible. (We are looking for a better copy of the film, so please let us know if you are aware of any.) Run time about 16 minutes. Hope you enjoy this inside look at creating the UNIVAC 1108! (Computer History Archives Project) • Sperry announced the UNIVAC 1108 in the summer of 1964 and delivered the first one in late 1965. • An improved version of the 1107, it used a combination of transistors and integrated circuits. • This film shows a rare look inside the Twin Cities Data Processing Division, Minnesota. • Topics included are • Wiring Core Memory Planes • Assembling Printed Circuit Cards • Hand Assembly Manufacturing Line • Automated Wire Wrap Machines • Quality Assurance Testing • UNIVAC 1108 Console Testing Room • Peripheral Devices; Magnetic Drum Memory • an Image Gallery. • For more information on the UNIVAC 1108, see also: • Wiki: • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIVAC_... • Unisys History Newsletter, Volume 3, Number 2, April 1999 (rev.
