| Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation | The Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC) was founded by J. Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly, and was incorporated on December 22 1947. The company was called Electronic Control Company before it was incorporated. Eckert and Mauchly had built the ENIAC computer at the University of Pennsylvania. The EDVAC that Eckert and Mauchly designed was being built at the time they left the University to form the EMCC. The first project of the EMCC was the BINAC, which put the company in a weak financial position and also didn't work very well. Their next project UNIVAC I, which eventually became very successful. The EMCC remained in financial difficulty and was acquired by Remington Rand (later part of the Sperry Corporation) on February 15 1950, where it became the UNIVAC division of Remington Rand. The first UNIVAC I was not delivered until March 1951, over a year after EMCC was acquired by Remington Rand. (references) | ||
