Commercial applications: the implication of census experience

Abstract

The Bureau of the Census began operating a Univac System in April 1951. We temporarily stopped operation at the end of December 1952. During this period our Univac was housed in the factory in Philadelphia where it was built by the Eckert-Mauchly Division of Remington Rand Inc. The first of this year (1953) our Univac was shipped to Washington. It is now being reassembled and we hope to put it back in operation within the next two or three months.
