Way back in the dark days (1976 or so) I cloned a Beehive

It used silicon bucket brigade memory (CCD). they had a 9V

clock, and just a bunch of charge storage spots and the clock
pulses peristaltically shifted the charge packets down the line.
This was VERY much like earlier terminal designs that used
wiresonic
delay lines.

Would we have
developed ultra-fast recirculating memory?
Now there's an idea (has it been tried?); the equivalent
of an acoustic delay line memory using fiber optics...
