This machine was entirely electromechanical and the 'memory' was a rather large drum which used bumps to represent the data. I have restored one of these and put a video of it up on YouTube a few years back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1dnAzrce9E I have a question for our European (Italy preferred) friends - a customer of mine in Italy has one of these machines and needs to rebuild the punch card assembly. It appears it is not standard IBM fare and he could use some help making it work again...anyone interested please contact me off-list and I'll see about connecting you to him.
