The UNIVAC I used recirculating acoustic Mercury delay lines for memory. Such delay lines were originally developed during WWII as part of RADAR display analog signal processing circuits to remove stationary background clutter from the screen and make it easier to identify moving targets. Several engineers hired by Eckert and Machley came from a RADAR background, so this type of memory was logical to use.
