A card changeable nondestructive readout twistor store

Published:03 March 1959Publication History

ABSTRACT

With the steady increase in the required speed and complexity of computing and data processing equipment necessary to handle today's problems, the role of the associated storage systems has been expanding. Generally, a rather large amount of permanent or semipermanent storage capacity is required to store information such as programs, constants, and tables. Besides having a large bit capacity at low bit cost, such stores must be fast, reliable, and flexible in addressing. The twistor sensing an array of small permanent magnets meets these requirements admirably.
