UNTIL 1958.
IN 1950 REMINGTON RAND BOUGHT THE ECKERT MAUCHLY COMPUTER COROPORATION (EMCC - FOUNDED BY J. PRESPER ECKERT AND JOHN MAUCHLY), WHICH WERE THE BUILDER OF THE ENIAC (ELECTRONIC NUMERICAL INTEGRATOR AND COMPUTER) AND THE BINAC (BINARY AUTOMATIC COMPUTER).
IN 1952 REMINGTON RAND BOUGHT THE ENGINEERING RESEARCH ASSOCIATES (ERA), WHICH BECAME THE COMPUTER DIVISION FOR MILITARY COMPUTERS, WHILE EMCC DEVELOPED COMPUTERS FOR THE CIVIL SECTOR.
IN 1955 THE SPERRY CORPORATION, WHICH WAS FOUNDED IN 1910 AS THE SPERRY GYROSCOPE COMPANY BY ELMER AMBROSE SPERRY, ACQUIRED REMINGTON RAND AND RENAMED ITSELF TO SPERRY RAND.
