CONTEXT: Remington Rand Electric Typewriter Sales Demonstration
The description of this film on YouTube says it dates from the late 1940s, but that can't be right since the salesman's pitch begins by linking the technology of the electric typewriter to the Remington Rand Univac I computer installed at the U.S. Census Bureau. The Census Bureau did not place its order for the Univac computer until March, 1951, and the computer was not delivered until December, 1952. So, it's probably from the early 1950s.
