Early in the design of the UNIVAC system, Eckert and Mauchly had recognized that for the computer to be useful in handling the large volumes of data used in many business applications, such as payroll of inventory control, it would need to have a high speed input/output system.
Data was recorded in eight channels on the tape (six for the data value, one parity channel for error checking, and one timing channel) at a density of 128 characters per linear inch of tape.
