Relation to 1103

[edit]

While the 1103 and 1105 may have inherited technology from the 1101, they had 36-bit words instead of 24-bit words, had two address instructions rather than one address instructions and their instructions didn't have a skip fields.

Conflicting sources for word size of UNIVAC 1101

[edit]

I was browsing bitsavers and I encountered one document[1] that claimed the 1101 had a 24-bit word and another document[2] that claimed a 30-bit word. Which is correct? --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 18:13, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
