I don't know much about plated wire store, but I do know it was used in the
Manchester University MU5 computer which pioneered heuristic pipelining.
There is some info here:-

Subject: plated wire memory
I was just listening to a video on the Voyager space craft. It used an
interesting
type of memory, called magnetic wire memory. There is
only a little bit of
information of it on the web. It is clever in that has a non-destructive
read. I
just wondered if any one else was familiar with this
type of memory.
