- Burroughs B5000 Core Memory Plane, 1961 - Core memory is an early form of computer memory. Small rings of magnetic material strung on a wire grid were programmed to represent a binary "one" or "zero." Core planes were individually woven (typically by women) under a microscope. It was the standard form of computer memory from 1955-1975, until displaced by the integrated circuit, which could be mass produced.

- Dynastat Magnetic Memory Drum, 1962 - George Devol was a problem solver and prolific inventor -- particularly in the area of automation. After the Second World War, Devol patented a magnetic control system -- a memory system for machines. With this reprogrammable system, manufacturers could "teach" a machine to perform repetitive tasks. Devol's innovation led to his most notable invention -- the first industrial robot.
