I was quite amazed at the small size of the magnets - I had to put the board under a microscope to see any detail at all. The whole thing was very intricately made. Does anyone know hoe core memory was manufactured? Was it knitted? By hand or by machine? I'd be interested to know. David Shoat Dept. of Medical Cardiology Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
