The memories come crashing back.
How many have worked on a drum memory system? CRT memory?
NASA had a computer (ADACS) built by Kellogs that used a delay line memory looked just like a screen door spring all of 1024 bits.
Then later installing attached processor to add 8 channels and 256K of memory to an IBM main frame at a cost of over $1M.
Guess I must be getting old.
