furnace mentioned somewhere? Seriously, I would like to hear more about it
(could you post the table of contents, maybe?).
No blast furnace required. I'll try to scan a few pages this week. There
are 7 chapters, and the middle 5 each describe an important element and
end in one or more construction details. Here's what's need to build a
core memory:
Chassis:
1 composition board
3 supports (scrap wood)
6 wood screws
Display circuit:
44 paper clips
42 machine screws
42 nuts
4 lamps
1 tin strip
3.5' hookup wire
6' insulated hookup wire
adhesive tape
Special tools:
tin snips
drill
