I'm new to the list and missed the original posting about the Friden delay
line. Can somebody forward to me the messages that have been crossed in

postings?
Thanks!

acoustic delay lines, they propagate bits translated to mechanical
impulses at the speed of sound in a solid. The resulting delay is
long enough to use ans a shift register to store bits.
