The first computer files were invented in 1948 or 1949 at Eekert Machley Computer Company for the UNIVAC computer. The data of these files was the same as had previously been maintained on punched cards for use on electromechanical unit record machines since 1890. However to permit processing the file data at "electronic speeds" it was instead recorded magnetically on nickel plated brass tape.
