This weekend, we in MARCH are rescuing a Univac 1219 (early/mid-1960s
military version of Univac 418). We're also getting a second parts
machine and several teletypes (unknown model) and some spare parts.
It's all coming from the Johns Hopkins University Applies Physics
Laboratory. We hope to find out what these machines were actually used
for .... if that's not secret.
We're going to put the full 1219 directly into exhibit, and gradually
clean it, etc. .... the parts machine and other stuff will go into storage.
There isn't any storage or I/O console with this donation. Whatever
.... we're getting some big iron that says "Univac" on it, so I'm
happy.
It will be displayed right next to our Straight-8.
Permission granted to be jealous. ;)
.. Indeed. I hope we get to see photos later.
Here's one use they were put to:

Love the slide-out logic drawers. I have some univac plug-in PCB modules that
look like those in the photo.
