Hi Jan,
I've found some stuff;
Here is some history:

And here is a general summary of the machine:

--- Thank you so much for digging up the additional references. It's interesting that
it differs somewhat from the existing ones I have insofar as word length and power
consumption. The new figure of 200-Watts seems more plausible than the 100W the other
sources give. The new reference also reveals that production didn't start until 1963.
With no mention of the previous UM-1 model, one can only assume that it wasn't
produced in quantity.
--- Truly useful parts of the puzzle.
Thanks,
Steve L.
