Chris PetrilliIf you start around minute 6, you can see magnetic core memory being assembled. Largely by hand.Literally sewn together.
A great contrast to the JLC video in how far automation ahs come.

Tom Fakes (he/him)@petrillic I showed a core memory board to my younger co-workers. They had no idea of this history.
Here's some close-ups of mine - bought on eBay about 15 years ago.
@craz8 they're so beautiful. I don't think they automated any of the production really until quite late in the generation. We used so many rather curious memory storage systems, and this is by far one of the least weird ones.
Nullstring 🏴☠️@craz8 @petrillic oh shit it had never occurred to me to look for it on ebay, thank you and curse you at once for this
