Project Whirlwind. Volume 13. System Drawings.
Abstract
Volumes 5 and 6 of this report describe the Whirlwind I computer in block diagram form and indicate the operations which must be performed in the computer. Volumes 15 through 19 describe the development of components and circuits necessary to the performance of these operations. This volume of photographs, circuit schematics, layouts, and mechanical drawings shows the progress which has so far been made in the synthesis of components and circuits into a working electronic system which will satisfy the demands of the block diagram. To help in relating the circuits to the block diagrams, the drawing lists include, in addition to the drawing title and number, the number which describes the pertinent part of the system in the block diagrams. Consistent with this, the system drawings are presented in five groups headed respectively: System, Control, Storage, Arithmetic Element, and Registers, a sixth group being drawings of test equipment designed and built by this laboratory. The test equipment is described in Vol. 19, E-48, and E-52.
