Definitions

  • This invention relates to magnetic core storage and switching devices, suitable for use in magnetic core matrices of electronic calculating machines.
  • the devices consist of a number of closed magnetic cores supported on a self-supporting rigid non-magnetic structure, which holds them in position for easy insertion of electrical conductors by which data may be selectively entered into the device or read therefrom.
  • a plurality of the devices may be formed into a coordinate matrix.
  • the rigid support for the cores preferably is an electrical conductor, and the supported cores may be arranged thereon in rows and columns to form a coordinate matrix.
  • Such electrically conductive continuous rigid support may act as one of the electrical conductors in the matrix system by reason of its passing through each core.
  • Figs. 1, 2 and 3 show successive steps in one form of making the device
  • Fig. 4 shows a complete coordinate matrix system of two rows of the novel device.
  • an inner support consisting of a hollow tube of non-magnetic material, having closely fitted or electro-plated thereover a magnetic covering 11.
  • the tube 10 should be of material which is rigid but which can be bent to a shape which it will retain, and, preferably of electrically conductive material, such as brass or copper.
  • the magnetic covering next is subjected to an operation which gives it the form of Fig. 2, as by grinding or cutting circumferential grooves at spaced intervals in the magnetic covering material until the outer surface of the support tube 10 is exposed.
  • the tube 10 is cut crosswise, at the groove intervals, the cuts being made so that the tube is held together so as to leave bridges such as 12. and 12'.
  • the adjoining cuts are from diametrically opposite sides, leaving magnetic ring cores as individual units 13, 13'.
  • the cores in a row are alternately oriented at substantially right angles. This is done in the present invention by bending the bridges 12, 12, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 4 there is shown a coordinate matrix of two rows, with five magnetic cores in each row, the matrix being shown with but few cores for the sake of simplicity. There may be as many rows and as many cores in a row as desired.
  • continuous supporting material 10 is an electrical conductor
  • adjacent rows are electrically connected, as by portion 16 of the conductor.
  • the connector portion 16 may be of sufiicient stifiness to hold the two rows of cores in proper alinement while the electrical conductors like 14 and 15 are passed therethrough.
  • the supporting tube 10 may be covered by magnetic material as by slipping over it a closely fitted tube of magnetic material, the most eflicient method of covering the support is by electro-plating magnetic material thereover.
  • tubular support into the connected rings and then to magnetically plate them.
