Computer History Archives Project (CHAP) | Vintage Computers: 1972 Office Automation, Clerical Careers (educational) (Univac 9400) @ComputerHistoryArchivesProject | Uploaded February 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Vintage 1972: An excellent 1972 Career Training film made for the Department of Defense. Shows various clerical jobs, typical 1970’s office staff, and a wide variety of 1970’s office machines, including a brief view of a UNIVAC 9400 system. Of note, the job of “Computer Operator” was considered part of the Clerical job class at this time, as was the job of “Data Entry Clerk.” IT job classes evolved considerably over time, and this was not always the case. Various secretarial and office equipment scenarios are presented. Provided here for educational and historical value. Excerpt from an educational Career Training Film made for the U.S. Department of Defense, by Counselor Films, Inc. (original title: “Is a Career in Clerical Work for You?”)

Special thanks to http://www.reeltransfers.com, for the digital transfer, which helped us rescue and preserve the original film from the aging process.

We hope you enjoy this vintage educational clip.
