 Magnetic-core memory computers

Magnetic-core memory, also known simply as core memory, is a type of non-volatile memory that was widely used in computer systems from the 1950s to the early 1970s. It employs tiny magnetic rings, or cores, made from ferrite material to store data. Each core can store one bit of information, representing either a 0 or a 1, depending on the direction of magnetization of the core.
