File handling at Cambridge University
DAVID W. BARRON, A. G. Fraser, David Hartley, B. Landy, Roger M. Needham · 1967
The file handling facility now in use on the Titan computer at the University Mathematical Laboratory, Cambridge provides storage for data over indefinitely long periods of time and yet contrives to make that data available on demand. An 8 million word disc is augmented by the use of magnetic tape. The organization of this available space is entirely a system responsibility and the user can normally expect data to be transferred into his immediate access store area on demand.
