The Tex Users Group Newsletter Editor Barbarabeeton Computers can make it easier, quicker, and cheaper to print formal publications; individuals can do what was once practical only for organizations. As the computer increases the freedom of writers, so does it increase the responsibility of readers.

  • 1. Introduction
    1. INTRODUCTION Honeywell Intemational Inc. (fonnerly AlliedSignal, Inc.; referred to herein as Honeywell), is conducting aremedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) for Onondaga Lake, which is located near S)'Tacuse, New York (site definition is discussed in Section 1.2 of this RI). The RIfFS is being conducted under the direction of the State ofN ew York and pursuant to the terms of a Consent Decree (Index #89-CV -815) entered into with the State of New York dated January 9, 1992, and associated stipulations (Consent Decree). Onondaga Lake was placed on the USEP A National Priorities List (NFL) (CERCLIS ill number NYD986913580) on December 16, 1994. This NPL listing means that the lake is among the nation's highest priorities for remedial evaluation and responseunder the federal Superfillld law for ~iteswhere there has been a release ofhazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. Honeywell submitted a draft RI report in May 1998. Upon review and comment by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), the NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Law (NYSDOL) disapproved this draft document and provided comments to Ho~eywell in August 1999. After completing additional sampling in 1999 and 2000, Honeywell submitted a revised RI report in April 2001 (Exponent, 2001 c). This revised report was similarly disapproved by NYSDEC and NYSDOL in July 2001. Thereafter, pursuant to the Consent Decree, NYSDEC/T AMS Consultants, Inc. (TAMS) prepared this reMite of Honeywell' s revised RI report, with the assistance ofNYSDOH and USEP A.

  • Sperry Rand's Third-Generation Computers 1964–1980
    Sperry Rand’s Third-Generation Computers 1964–1980 George T. Gray and Ronald Q. Smith The change from transistors to integrated circuits in the mid-1960s marked the beginning of third-generation computers. A late entrant (1962) in the general-purpose, transistor computer market, Sperry Rand Corporation moved quickly to produce computers using ICs. The Univac 1108’s success (1965) reversed the company’s declining fortunes in the large-scale arena, while the 9000 series upheld its market share in smaller computers. Sperry Rand failed to develop a successful minicomputer and, faced with IBM’s dominant market position by the end of the 1970s, struggled to maintain its position in the computer industry. A latecomer to the general-purpose, transistor would be suitable for all types of processing. computer market, Sperry Rand first shipped its With its top management having accepted the large-scale Univac 1107 and Univac III comput- recommendation, IBM began work on the ers to customers in the second half of 1962, System/360, so named because of the intention more than two years later than such key com- to cover the full range of computing tasks. petitors as IBM and Control Data.

  • Creativity – Success – Obscurity
    Author Gerry Pickering CREATIVITY – SUCCESS – OBSCURITY UNIVAC, WHAT HAPPENED? A fellow retiree posed the question of what happened. How did the company that invented the computer snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? The question piqued my interest, thus I tried to draw on my 32 years of experiences in the company and the myriad of information available on the Internet to answer the question for myself and hopefully others that may still be interested 60+ years after the invention and delivery of the first computers. Computers plural, as there were more than one computer and more than one organization from which UNIVAC descended. J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, located in Philadelphia PA are credited with inventing the first general purpose computer under a contract with the U.S. Army. But our heritage also traces back to a second group of people in St. Paul MN who developed several computers about the same time under contract with the U.S. Navy. This is the story of how these two companies started separately, merged to become one company, how that merged company named UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computers) grew to become a main rival of IBM (International Business Machines), then how UNIVAC was swallowed by another company to end up in near obscurity compared to IBM and a changing industry. Admittedly it is a biased story, as I observed the industry from my perspective as an employee of UNIVAC. It is also biased in that I personally observed only a fraction of the events as they unfolded within UNIVAC. This story concludes with a detailed account of my work assignments within UNIVAC.
