I'm not any help in determining the machine that core
came from, but I do think that it is beautiful! Part
of what makes it cool to me is the three dimensionality
of the entire stack. And when I saw the final picture,
the one which had the soda can in it for reference, the
full size of the stack was realized!
What is to become of this core stack?

I received this request for information on a core memory stack - does
anyone recognize it? I passed on some general info to him about core
memory and how they work.

Subject: 40k Ferrite Memory Core
Hello,
I was hoping you could help me figure out what I have here. I bought
it an
estate and it had a note attached that said "40k Ferrite Memory
Core". It's
pretty amazing to look at, there are thousands of tiny wires and it has
little black "doughnuts" at the intersection of each wire. Any help in
identifying this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Scott
