Bilateral magnetic selection systems for large-scale computers

Published:07 February 1956Publication History

ABSTRACT

Selective writing of information on a chosen channel of a large memory system (e.g., a magnetic drum memory) and selective reading of information from one out of many such memory channels can be accomplished by use of a single 2-way magnetic pyramid made solely of high quality magnetic saturable cores. A description is given of a working magnetic selection unit used in a large inventory control system with a few thousand magnetic drum channels.
