I never got to work on Univac's 36-bit systems, but I heard that
they could do 9-bit stuff.

The Univac 1100's that I spent 5 years with (1970-1975) were 36-bit
machines inspired by IBM's 700/7000 family. They were performing well
for
  - Scientific computation, where their 36-bit floating point was mostly
    good enough, so you did not need double precision
  - Real-Time applications, where they had low latency and short
    pathlengths for interrupts as well as good OS support for real-time
    responsiveness, a legacy of their 30-bit predecessors
  - transaction processing, where their FastRand drums were available
    early in the market

The CPU register/memory instructions had fields to select partial words:
    LA,H1 R1,DATA
There were
    HalfWords    H1, H2
    QuarterWords Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4
    Sixths       S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6

Originally, all text fields were in 6-bit characters called FIELDATA.
Later, to accommodate lowercase, it became reasonably common to put
7-bit ASCII into quarter-words (9 bits).

When the Memorex Storage Module disk drives took over the world of
storage, and nine-track tapes became the standard, the I/O channels
started placing nine 8-bit bytes into two 36-bit words. That became
somewhat painful to unpack.

A-format puts 4 8-bit bytes in a 36-bit word (each 8-bit byte
occupying the least significant bits in a Quarter Word.
C-format packs 9 8-bit bytes in two 36-bit words.

I think Univac was all mixed up. When I last looked at the 1108, they
supported three different character sets: Fielddata (6-bit, for the army),
BCD, and ASCII. I believe they had at least two different COBOL compilers,
Fielddata And ASCII, and maybe three.

   Used to be a kinda main/common thing.

   Compilers were new and expensive. Apps were still
   kinda small. So, ASM was often The Way - and
   provided The Most fine control.

Indeed - and the architectures were designed to facilitate it. 'Course,
as has been discussed, that eventually led to creeping featurism and
terminal over-engineering and finally birthed RISC design, but it's
interesting to think back on the period where there really was a happy
medium...

In those days, machine instruction sets were designed for humans to 
program in. Machine families like the PDP-10 and PDP-11 were highly 
regarded for being refreshingly free of seemingly arbitrary and capricious 
restrictions that tended to plague prior designs just to make the hardware 
easier to implement.

The acme of this trend was, of course, the DEC VAX. And also a 
microprocessor design that tried to copy that richness of instruction set, 
the 32x00 family from Western Electric.

Unfortunately some spoilsports discovered that such complex instruction 
sets were suboptimal when it came to actual performance. And furthermore 
that well-designed compilers could routinely generate better code than any 
mere human assembly-language programmer.

And so the good times ended ...

Branch delay slots took whatever fun there was out of RISC assembly 
language. The DEC Alpha didn't have them, but a few other architectures did.

(I just looked up "delay slot" -- just because it's been so long since I 
used the term in a sentence -- and I found a five-year-old Stack 
Overflow discussion about delay slots being out of fashion. I had no idea.)

They didn’t last long. There was this brief window during about the latter 
1980s when they were thought to be a good idea ... just long enough for a 
few RISC architectures (SPARC, MIPS, I think also PA-RISC) to be saddled 
with them.

By 1990 or so, hardware design had progressed to the point where they were 
no longer considered necessary. So POWER and Alpha were able to do without 
them, without sacrificing performance.

Though they did survive for a few years longer in special-purpose DSP 
architectures.

Add the 88100 to that list.

  i enjoyed Univac assembler on the 1190 in the '80s.
it spoiled me for anything to do with the IBM-PCs
but gladly i didn't have to get into that much.  the
Amiga at least went with a better architecture.

I found the burroughs medium systems instruction set
a joy to work with.   As it was a BCD machine, everything
was in decimal.   Take an add instruction, that adds two
8 digit fields and produces an 8 digit result:

   02 0808 001000 002000 003000
   OP AFBF AAAAAA BBBBBB CCCCCC

The first two digits (8 bits) is the opcode.  02 = ADD.
The next two digits are the A field size, in either
bytes or nibbles/digits based on the address controller
for the A field, the following two digits are similarly the
B field size.   The C field size is the larger of the
A or B field sizes for ADD/SUB, and double for MPY;
for DIV, both the remainder and quotient were stored
in the C field.

The field sizes ranges from 1 to 100 units (00 = 100).

The high-order digit of the address field selected the
data type in two bits (Unsigned Numeric, Signed Numeric,
Unsigned Alpha or indirect) and the remaining two bits selected
one of three index registers to add to the remaining
address.

For the UA datatype, the processor ignored the zone
digit when doing arithmetic on the operand and supplied
the correct zone digit on output based on the ASCII flag.

Mixed datatypes were fully supported (with some unintuitive
handling of the sign in UA types).

The indirect address type allowed infinite indirection,
for which the processor included a timer to abort the
operation if it looped indefinitely.

The operand fields were extended from six digits to
eight digits in the B4700 (early 70s) to support full six-digit
addresses (plus four additional index registers in
the V380 circa 1984) without breaking existing
compiled B3500 applications.
