A Few Good Men From Univac (Paperback, New Ed)

1988 IEEE-USAB Award for Distinguished Literary Contributions Furthering Public Understanding of the Profession. In this personal memoir, electrical engineer David Lundstrom recalls the heyday of early computing--the rise of Control Data out of the Univac division of Sperry Rand, such milestone computer systems as the Univac and the Naval Tactical Data System the exploits of CDC's top designer Seymour Cray, and the gradual corporate shift from the exciting and technically interesting world of computer design to internal politics and clumsy bureaucracy. David E. Lundstrom's career spanned 30 years with Sperry Rand Corp. (now a division of Unisys Corp.) and Control Data Corporation.
