What a collection...
Halfway through the pictures I saw something I recognised, a plate with
a spiral wound thick single metal wire. I found one of those 20 years
ago in a calculator made by Olivetti.
It is standing to the far left in picture 27 among other types of
silicon and core memory. Is it a memory? What type?
... never mind. Picture 41 shows a similar device. It was an ultrasonic
delay line. How much could be stored in such a memory?
