Magnetic Core Memory Decoded - J. S. Walker

\n \nMagnetic Core Memory Decoded is a detailed work describing the operation and development of a magnetic core memory system of the type originally implemented in the 1940's through to the 1960's.\n \nCore memory was a major stepping stone in the development of modern digital computer systems and is a fascinating technology which encompasses many engineering disciplines.\n \nA full explanation of the technology is provided from the basics of magnetic core flux responses through the design and implementation of circuits required to create a fully functional memory system.\n \nThe system presented in this book is a non-trivial design and while it is relatively small in terms of its storage capacity it is still large enough to give the reader a full account of the technology and the amazing secrets of this technology.\n \nThis book is a must for anyone interested in the history of computing or is simply interested in the development of engineering technology.\n \n \n\n
