'Now . . . in the Analytical Engine I had devised mechanical means
equivalent to memory. ' For the past twenty-five years or so,
scientists and engineers have been endeavouring to realize in new
technologies the claim made by Charles Babbage in his memoirs over
a century ago. The modern computer industry depends to a very large
extent on the success of their efforts. In this book we discuss the
wide variety of techniques which have been used and are being
developed to meet the range of requirements for digital storage
systems in computers and other applications. The book has been
written as a guide for the designer of any system employing digital
techniques, firstly to guide him in his choice of store for
differing applications and, secondly, to give him an apprecia tion
of the problems which confront the engineer designing storage
systems. Technology never stands still and developments in recent
years have, of necessity, greatly increased the amount of material
included in this second edition. The opportunity has also been
taken to reorganize the contents and more emphasis has been given
to those developments which have had, or which are likely to have,
the greatest effect on computer development. Brief descriptions of
obsolete or obsolescent systems have been retained, both as a warn
ing to designers of the problems likely to be encountered in
develop ment and to demonstrate how changes in technology can give
a new impetus to old designs."
