| Core Storage module from an IBM 360, circa 1960 | |||
| From an IBM 360 computer, vintage 1960. The module stored 8704 bits, for a whopping 1088 characters. The module measures 4.5" X 7". I assume the person who wired it was using a strong magnifying glass. The cores are very small and densely packaged. | |||
