In the same vein, here's a Remington Rand (RR) "newsreel" promo clip
from about 5 years earlier--an interesting hardware comparison:
"Remington-Rand Presents: UNIVAC"

I just wonder how computers and computing would be different now if
Eckert & Mauchley had NOT been put out of business (forced to sell
UNIVAC to RR) by the HUAC/McCarthy hearings fallout...
