The 16 x 16 Metallic-Core Memory Array, Model 1
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1952-09-25)
This report contains a history and some technical details of the development of our first two-dimensional, coincident-current, magnetic-core memory for binary digital computer use.
The work described herein received its ...
A Coincident-Current Magnetic Memory Cell for the Storage of Digital Information
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1952-04)
A small, ring-shaped, ferromagnetic core with properly "rectangular" B-H characteristics may be operated so that its flux polarity reverses only when the correct combination of two or three magnetizing windings are ...
Group leaders' meeting, August 18, 1952
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1952-08-18)
Minutes of weekly group leader meeting discussing Taylor's trip on vacuum tubes, Whittemore floor space, engineering reports, Whirlwind I installation, drawings, and spares, Whirlwind II contractor, use of Whirlwind I by ...
A Magnetic Matrix Switch and its Incorporation into Coincident-Current Memory
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1952-06-06)
The random-access memory is an important element of a high-speed digital computer. This memory must be capable of operating at high speeds with long-time reliability, and should be compact and of low cost. The coincident-current ...

Group leaders' meeting, March 31, 1952
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1952-04-02)
Minutes of weekly group leader meeting discussing the third shift for Whirlwind I, methods of speeding up the program other than adding men to the staff, responsibilities in magnetic work, and indoctrination program.
Quarterly Status Report, Contract N5ori-06002 April through June 1952
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1952-08-04)
This report summarizes the work done on ONR Project NR232-001 under the extension of Contract N^ori-06002, for the second quarter of 1952. The bulk of the work continues to be applied to the application of a computer to a ...
A Theory of Deviation from Close Packing in Hexagonal Metal Crystals
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1952-09-11)
A mechanism is proposed to show how the Fermi surface interacts with the Brillouin zone boundaries. The direction and relative magnitude of the variation of the c/a ratio for hexagonal crystals from the ideal value for ...
