The LGP-30 is similar, but the timing and long tracks
(i.e. main memory) are not recirculating. Hence the reason
why a word is limited to 31 bits, although the sector
holds 32 bits. The last bit must be zero to reset the read
circuitry for the next sector.
So, there is no inter-word gap to accommodate the write head
switching? I guess if everything is hard-synched to the
clock track, then you can get away without that. Interesting!
