Fascinating! On a related note: Please be advised that the Unisys facility in Malvern/Great Valley continues to downsize and reportedly they still have their Univac console desk that used to in the main lobby. Its has an internal controller that performs a blinking lights demo on the nixi tubes. VCF may want to engage to get in line for it if Unisys has no where for
it to go at some point... -DC

Some of you may have heard that the Unisys Blue Bell (Penn.) Retirees
Group recently closed due to lack of mission/membership.
They donated all of their artifacts to VCF.
The shipment will arrive soon. They said its contents include:
- Digital and printed copies of their "Newsbits" newsletter from the mid-1980s to present, most issues are there
- UNIVAC I programming guide (will pair nicely with the UNIVAC 1 technical guide they already donated a few years ago)
- 50TH anniversary celebration book
- CDs with interviews of Univac 1 workers
- Ridge Ave. (their old factory) dedication book
- Documents/photos "of the early days of Eckert-Mauchly Corp."
