World's first computer company: "ELECTRONIC CONTROL COMPANY" later named the ECKERT-MAUCHLY COMPUTER CORPORATION (EMCC -1946). This documentary describes development of BINAC (1949) by Dr. John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, inventors of ENIAC (1946) & UNIVAC (1951). {Compilation: Mark Greenia, Computer History Archives Project and John William Mauchly Jr. (son of inventor Dr. John Mauchly) who provided original 1948 EMCC Film & Photos, historical info and the Accompanying Music Score.}
This presentation reveals rare footage (some never before seen) of the BINAC in operation and a “behind- the-scenes” film courtesy of John William Mauchly Jr. showing EMCC engineers during the computer’s construction in 1947-1948. (Professional Narration by David Melvin.)
BINAC was also the FIRST STORED-PROGRAM COMPUTER in the U.S. Built under contract for Northrop Aircraft, it used Mercury Delay Line Memory, and over 1,400 tubes. It was designed as two identical computers connected together, each one checking the other. The BINAC predated UNIVAC I and included several groundbreaking technologies.
Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation ("EMCC") was purchased by Remington Rand in 1950, and the now famous UNIVAC 1 was released in March 1951. Many groundbreaking computers followed, including UNIVAC Solid-State, Univac File Computer, Univac Scientific, UNIVAC-LARC and others.
Now part of Unisys Corporation, the “Sperry-Remington-Rand Univac” family of computer experts, along with those of Engineering Research Associates (ERA), encompassed some of the world’s leading computer visionaries during in the 1950’s and early 60’s.
