Proposal for Reducing the Number of Tubes Used in Driving a Magnetic Matrix Switch
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1953-06-17)There are two independent questions that must be answered when choosing a switch operating mode: 1. Should the "set" and "reset" windings take part in the selection operation? 2. Should the "bias" drivers be gated? The ... -
Proposal for Reducing the Number of Tubes Used in Driving a Magnetic Matrix Switch
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1953-07-09)A scheme is outlined which eliminates roughly half the bias drivers used in present models of the magnetic matrix switch. It calls for an increase of about 50% in the number of wires passing through a core in the switch.
