A modular plated wire memory plane

Abstract

In developing high-speed digital systems it is often necessary to use fast memories which are not directly available on the market. Our modular memory construction enables us to adjust the capacity of the memory within a wide range during assembly. The basic element of the memory plane is the word-line sheet provided with a twisted pair of wires-it holds two word lines and has 24 holes for the bit wires. The capacity of the memory plane can be increased by additional word-line sheets. The maximum capacity of our modular memory is at present 12 Kbits.
