UNIVAC 1102

The UNIVAC 1102 or ERA 1102 was designed by Engineering Research Associates for the United States Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center in Tullahoma, Tennessee in response to a request for proposal issued in 1950.

The Air Force needed three computers to do data reduction for two wind tunnels and an engine test facility.

The machine had 2,700 vacuum tubes, weighed 14,000 pounds (7.0 short tons; 6.4 t), and occupied 122 square feet (11.3 m2) of floor area.

There were five typewriters for printed output, five paper tape punches, and four pen plotters to produce graphs.
