Vintage 1962 "Digital Computer Techniques" - core memory, magnetic storage, etc.

Original un-edited 1962 film. A “somewhat dry” Army/Navy film of basic computer concepts. Detailed descriptions & diagrams of computing “input, store, control, arithmetic, output”, etc. Machine peripherals shown briefly. Film quality starts poor, but gets better towards the end. Nice description of “core memory” at 10:20 mins into the film. - Watch with a cold drink and some tasty snacks and enjoy this classic educational treat.
