Circa 1979-1980, it features the release of Sperry Univac's System 80 mid-range computer. Original film rescue Computer History Archives Project.

Speakers include:
J. Presper Eckert (speaks in two different parts of the film),
Bob Vernon, VP of Marketing and Planning,
John B. Wise, Dir of Marketing, (former RCA product manager)
Bill Simon, Director of Engineering ,
Paul Aspen, Director of System Development,
Bill Grand, Manager Maintainability,

Just under 40 minutes long, the film features Sperry Univac personnel talking up the latest new computer -- The Sperry Univac System 80. (for 1980). Parts of the original film had sound issues and these have been largely corrected, with a bit of new narration added and some photos. Lots of talking here, but great flavor of a late 1970's computer -promo-"pep-talk." Hope you enjoy. ~ Computer History Archives Project.
