The first magnetic Store (until we know different!)

New page

A.D. Booth PhD wrote a number of articles during the early 1950's about the design of circuits for computers and about the computers at Birkbeck college Electonic Computation Laboratory. He appears to claim to have operated the first magnetic store in November 1947

Booth [http://www.chilton-computing.org.uk/acl/literature/manuals/cambridge/p005.htm paper] from 1949, presented by ''Kathleen Britten'' (later ''Booth''), who worked with A.D. Booth on several of his computers (he built them, she programmed them). The A.R.C., or ARC, initially used a Booth-designed nickel-covered 2" brass cylinder with 21 data tracks and one clock track, which could store 256 20-bit words.
