Abstract

The magnetic tape storage unit, ECM 64 or the “Carousel Memory”, has been developed by Facit Electronics AB, Stockholm. The prototype of the Memory has been connected to the Facit EDB 3 computer for one and a half year. The applications to the Carousel Memory related here come from the use of this computer by the Facit Service Bureau in Stockholm. Although being a prototype the Carousel Memory is working 24 hours a day.
