Looking for people who know something about early computing, especially in the Netherlands. Please boost and help me solve the mystery of this custom made plate that used to belong to my grandfather Bram Jan Loopstra, one of the pioneers of Dutch computing. What do the pictures mean? #computing #history (EDIT: Wow, thanks for the overwhelming response! You may have to check the post on my instance to see all the MANY helpful reactions.)
@victorgijsbers I'm not an expert but I can guess that the top image is an illustration or diagram of magnetic core memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-core_memory

@raygan Interesting! My mother also found this, do you think it's a magnetic core memory (turned into a paperweight)?
@victorgijsbers I'd bet on it! Looks just like some images I've seen.
