1950-1983 Computer History at Lawrence Livermore Nat's Labs, UNIVAC LARC, IBM, CDC, CRAY

Computer History: A 1983 film by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (“LLNL”), gives a fascinating and concise history of its computer developments both as a purchaser of early computers and a co-designer of many early technologies, from the early 1950’s up to 1983 (where the film ends). The Lab continues to be a leader in science in technology today. This film has been slightly restored and enhanced to improve viewability. Narrator, Dr. John Fletcher, provides a fascinating chronological walk through history of computing technology, especially with regard to Livermore’s role in computer design, and the establishment of its “Octopus” computer network. Highly recommended. Uploaded by Mark Greenia, for the Computer History Archives Project. With many thanks to the work of Sam Coleman, George Michael and others at www.computer-history.info/ (Oral History Preservation LLNL)

Computers mentioned include: UNIVAC 1, Univac LARC, IBM 7030, IBM 7090 & 7094, CDC 1604, CDC 3600, CDC 6600, Cray XMP and many others.
