I don’t think anachronistic means what you think it means.

I was trained on a UNIVAC 1050-II, early 70’s USAF. It did not correct itself, especially when I programmed it in PAL, SAL. We were the Operators, Maintenance and Programmers. SAC 96th Bomb Wing

Remington Rand, makers of the Remington electric shaver.
The last Remington electric (triple rotary head) I bought 3 years ago was a piece of junk. It didn’t have enough power to clip 1-day facial hair without bogging down. I had used 2 earlier models and they were okay but wore out rather quickly — but are no longer made.

There is more computing power in today’s electric razor.

It cannot make a mistake. And leaves your face kissable soft.
And boy can it catch fish.

I like that the marketing department at Remington-Rand refused to sign off on this ad unless the Rand people agreed to put a little ad in for the Remington electric shaver at the end.

Boy, this is nostalgic. My Dad worked for Remington Rand back in 1954, marketing the Univac. He was responsible for the installation of the Univac computer system to the Cleveland Hopkins airport, which I remember at the time was a big deal. Also, he used Remington shavers most of his adult life.
Thanks for posting this, takes me back...

Didn’t Remington also make guns as well as electric razors?

I see the old reel to reel tape drives in commercial, I had a hatred for those damned things with the old DEC 1105 and 1134 computers, way back in the day.

Why would they need a TV commercial? It wasn’t exactly a mass market product. About the only companies that could afford one of them were the companies they listed - US Steel, GE, in addition to the government.

I think it was actually a commercial for the Remmington electric razor.

No one back then would have believed it if you’d told them that by 2014, your phone would hold 16+GB of data.

I’ve seen the images in that commercial here before.
They were used for the Zot-Meister 9000 or something like that.
