DIGITAL COMPUTER SYSTEMS STUDIES

Abstract

The report is divided into four sections detailing the following study areas: (1) Storage Media, (2) Input-Output Circuits, (3) Circuit Building Blocks, and (4) Packaging. Work continued on delay lines, magnetic drums, core rope and core stack memories. Various breadboards and other models were built and tested. Specific error sources in the stairstep ramp generator were analyzed, and the feasibility of operating a Shannon Rack Decoder at 250 kc was investigated. Packaging methods and techniques were refined, especially with respect to the circuit modules and their interconnection. (Author)
