Page "UNIVAC" Paragraph 26

* The UNIVAC 1005, an enhanced version of the UNIVAC 1004, was introduced in February 1966.

The main improvement over the 1004 was conversion from the plug-board program to an internal stored program.

The machine saw extensive use by the US Army, including the first use of an electronic computer on the battlefield.

Additional peripherals were also available including a paper tape reader and a three pocket stacker selectable card read / punch.

The machine had a two-stage assembler ( SAAL-Single Address Assembly Language ) which was its primary assembler ; it also had a three stage card based compiler for a programming language called SARGE.

1005s were used as some nodes on Autodin.
