Inc. is Eckert-Machley Computer Corporation. Computer pioneers Jay Presper Eckert and John Machley founded their company after a dispute with the University of Pennsylvania administration over patent ownership of the Eniac computer.

After a series of mergers, the Eckert-Mochley Computer Company produced Binac and Univac computers for Northern Aircraft Corporation. Another computer pioneer, Grace Marie Hopper, joined Eckert-Machley Computer Company in 1949 as a senior mathematician.

In 1950, before construction of Univac was completed, Eckert-Muchly became a division of Remington Rand. In the 1970s, Remington Rand became IBM's main competitor in the computer market.
