Digital storage using ferromagnetic materials

Advances in the theory of ferromagnetism and, more particularly, increased control of production process, have led to the development of greatly improved magnetic materials and have made it possible to consider the use of ferromagnetic elements or devices for many types of circuit application. They would seem particularly attractive as circuit elements for digital computers and, in particular for storage systems. In this short paper a brief account will be given of four types of digital storage systems, all based on magnetic effects.
