Abstract

Digital electric calculator has a delay line memory 2 connected in a closed loop with a calculator unit 1 containing an adder-subtractor 6 and a shift register 5, the delay line containing numerical words interlaced with corresponding digits of each word adjacent each other, the digits being composed of a predetermined fixed number of bits and the register having an equal number of stages. The delay line shown contains eight registers each holding a twelve-digit binary coded decimal number. The digits pass via an amplifier 3 to a series of switches in the calculator unit. To perform an addition or subtraction on adjacent digits the first digit to be operated on is fed to the shift register. When the first bit of the following digit leaves amplifier 3 it is fed to the adder-subtractor 6. At the same time the first bit of the earlier digit leaves the shift register to enter amplifier 4 and is also fed to the adder-subtractor. The addersubtractor output is at the same time connected to the shift register input so that the sum of the input bits is stored in the shift register. At the end of the arithmetic operation the switches are arranged to feed the data through the shift register. Any corrections required to produce appropriate carries are carried out on the next circulation when a 6 is added to or subtracted from the b.c.d. number via input d where necessary, any carries to the next digit being held in flip-flop 8. If two spaced digits are to be operated on, for instance the digits in the first and fifth registers, then the digit of the first word is passed by the shift register to enter the delay line but when the digit of the second word is in the delay line the remaining words are connected to pass via the unit 6 until the digit of the last word has passed, the second word digit meanwhile recirculating in the shift register and then the second word digit is added to the end of the group containing the corresponding digits. Thus the register digits are in the order 2.6.5.4.3.1. This is repeated until the required digits are adjacent.
