Project Grind Meeting of June 25, 1953 (Second Day)
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1953-06-29)At this meeting marginal checking, power supplies and magnetic memory were discussed. It was generally agreed that more work remains to be done on marginal checking and power supplies before decisions can be made, and that ... -
Project Grind Meeting of June 26, 1953 (Third Day)
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1953-06-29)The magnetic drums were discussed at this meeting. There will be 6 fields per physical drum, and probably five physical drums per computer. -
Project Grind Meeting of June 30, 1953 (Fourth Day)
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1953-07-06)The output display system and the manual input buffer drum were discussed at this meeting. A display rate of once every 2 seconds was tentatively accepted. There will be 16 words per track,** allowing for a display of ... -

(MIT Servomechanisms LaboratoryMIT Department of Electrical Engineering, 1951-06-07)Proposal for the expenditure of $50,000 on Contract N5ori-60, Task Order 1, transferred to the Office of Naval Research by the Air Force. -
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. -

(Lincoln Laboratory - Division 6, 1954-05-26)Increased memory in the use of cathodes is made possible by multi-level memory address selection and improved circuit designs. -
A Proposed Readout Scheme
(MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, 1953-05-18)A good deal of delta and air-flux noise cancellation can be attained during readout by using the dФ/dt produced during the fall time of the read gate to cancel that produced during the rise time.
