A commercial from the 1950s for the Remington Rand UNIVAC System!
Direct link to the Univac video
It’s got “Memory Tanks with 12,000 additional units of information”, assuming a “unit” is byte that’s 12 kB of information. That’s about one-tenth of a floppy disk, a floppy disk from twenty-fie years. Based on the other video (below) they might only be 3/4 of a byte 
I’m really surprised the printer could do 600 lines per minute, that’s pretty fast for that time (I would think!) although it didn’t look much different from some large printers I’ve seen years later.
There’s a 17 minute infomercial too.
And I found this video from Dean’s World too! I didn’t steal his text
