Magnetic Core Memory Decoded is a detailed work describing the operation and development of a magnetic core memory system of the type originally implemented in the 1940’s through to the 1960’s.

Core memory was a major stepping stone in the development of modern digital computer systems and is a fascinating technology which encompasses many engineering disciplines.

A full explanation of the technology is provided from the basics of magnetic core flux responses through the design and implementation of circuits required to create a fully functional memory system.

The system presented in this book is a non-trivial design and while it is relatively small in terms of its storage capacity it is still large enough to give the reader a full account of the technology and the amazing secrets of this technology.

This book is a must for anyone interested in the history of computing or is simply interested in the development of engineering technology.

J Walker is a development engineer with over 35 years experience in designing computer systems and has also worked extensively on the repair and restoration of many vintage computer systems. He worked as R&D manager in a large biomedical systems corporation for 18 years before starting and running his own very successful technology development companies for 20 years. Despite spending decades working to develop cutting edge technologies his main interest is still rooted in vintage engineering technologies and the basics of engineering technologies.
