Mauchly persuaded the United States Census Bureau to order an "EDVAC II" computer — a model that was soon renamed UNIVAC — receiving a contract in 1948 that called for having the machine ready for the 1950 census.

The UNITYPER was an input device for the UNIVAC I computer.
The new machine was delivered to the university in February 1951, making it the first commercial computer, about 1 month earlier than the UNIVAC I that was delivered to the US Census Bureau.
