Trip to Burroughs Research Center, Paoli, Pennsylvania, Tuesday, April 27, 1954, 1954 April 27
MIT DIC 6889. Project Whirlwind Memo M-2843. A trip was made to the Burroughs Research Center to discuss magnetic-core computer components and fabrication of metal cores. They are planning to make and improve metal cores and they have used magnetic cores in logical switching applications.
Trip to Linde Corporation, Tonawanda, New York, August 17, 1953, to Discuss Growth and Procurement of Ferrite Single Crystals, 1953 September 8
MIT DIC 6889. Project Whirlwind Memo M-2398. The Linde Corporation is growing ferrite single crystals by the Verneuil process. They are of interest to this laboratory for basic studies of the switching mechanism of ferrites.
Trip to NSA, Washington, D. C., 1955 March 30
Division 6 Memo M-3495. NSA in Washington submitted to Philco a purchase description for a computer, SOLO, to be built with an SBT control and arithmetic unit and a 4O96 register ferrite core memory. NSA and Group 63 agreed to maintain close contact regarding their respective transistor computer projects. Present at the discussion: (NSA) Joseph J. Eachus, Howard Campaigne, Roger Moulton, C. R. Blair, Douglas Hogan, A. E. Slade.
Trip to RCA Victor, Camden, October 22, 1953, 1953 October 28
MIT DIC 6889. Project Whirlwind Memo M-2483. Review of the progress in memory core production at RCA Victor in Camden is encouraging but considerable stabilization remains to be accomplished in the process, particularly in the pressing and firing operations. Particular care in testing sample batches should be directed toward checking reproducibility from batch to batch as their estimates are perhaps a bit optimistic about reproducibility.
Use of Silver in Etched-wiring Cards, 1954 February 3
Project Whirlwind Memo M-2669. Silver migration occurs easily through and across the surface of a variety of materials in the presence of moisture and unipolar potential. The behavior of silver is peculiar in that it may migrate more easily than any other metal. It is recommended that no silver be used in contact with laminated plastic materials, where potential is present, in equipment which is intended to operate dependably for long periods of time.
Vacuum and Vibration Speed Assembly of Core Memory Planes, 1956 February
MIT DIC 6889. Project Whirlwind Controlled Distribution Memo 6D-107. Memory units and matrix switches using new square-loop ferrite material increase speed and reliability of digital computers. Storage units with arbitrary-access and read-out time of five microseconds or less makes stored-information rapidly available without scanning time required by other systems. Reprinted from Electronics, February 1956.
