Not a proof in entirety of the claim, but from a ref
and looking at the closeup pics from the auction website, it is an unusual form of core
memory where the cores have two holes through them, like a blocky figure 8, apparently an
aspect of a technique to achieve non-destructive readout. This is quite unusual and would
go some ways to showing a provenance to the Gemini project.
That scheme is also known as BiAx. The docs with my
Honeywell Alert machine described the same thing.
As far as I can tell, the EMM core memory unit that came
with it is NOT BiAx, however.
