A multiple-access disc file
Irving L. Wieselman, Raymond Stuart-Williams, Donald K. Sampson · 1963
During the past two years disc files have been accepted as a reliable and economic form of mass random-access memory. It is now possible to design disc file systems which are functionally and logically optimized to provide efficient operation for a wide range of applications. This is important since at any given computer installation, more than one application is so often required.
