Computer History "Engineering Research Associates" ERA 1101, UNIVAC, Cryptology, 1946 Sperry Rand
Vintage Computer History; Cryptology; Navy Intelligence: This unique presentation provides an introduction to the origin and history of ENGINEERING RESEARCH ASSOCIATES (“ERA”) a pioneering and influential computer company founded in Minnesota in 1946. Formed and staffed by former members of the U.S. Navy’s top secret communications intelligence organization known as OP-20-G, it was instrumental in helping to advance the digital computer age.
In July 1946, the Navy communications intelligence authority formed a specialized organization called the Communications Supplementary Activity (CSA). Members of that group, formed ERA, which later joined Remington Rand Univac (Sperry, now UNISYS). Their groundbreaking engineering resulted in the rotating magnetic drum memory and other advancements, making it a forerunner of many of today’s modern computers. The history and legacy of ERA, continuing up to the present, is a fascinating story of technological innovations and contributions to the computer industry.
