Magnetic memory construction and circuits

Claim 1

A COORDINATE MEMORY ARRAY COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF PARALLEL ARRANGED MAGNETIC WIRE MEMORY ELEMENTS COMPRISING Y COORDINATES OF SAID ARRAY, EACH OF SAID MEMORY ELEMENTS HAVING A HELICAL FLUX PATH AXIALLY COINCIDENT THEREWITH, EACH OF SAID FLUX PATHS HAVING TWO REMANENT MAGNETIC STATES, A FIRST PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS INDUCTIVELY COUPLED TO SAID FUX PATHS AND ARRANGED TRANSVERSELY THERETO, SAID FIRST PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS BEING SERIALLY CONNECTED AT ALTERNATE ENDS, A SECOND PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS ALSO INDUCTIVELY COUPLED TO SAID FLUX PATHS AND IN REGISTRATION WITH SAID FIRST PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS, SAID FIRST AND SAID SECOND PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS DEFINING A COORDINATE ARRAY OF INFORMATION ADDRESS SEGMENTS ON SAID FLUX PATHS, SETTING MEANS FOR SETTING PARTICULAR ONES OF THE ADDRESS SEGMENTS DEFINED BY A SELECTED ONE OF SAID SECOND PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS TO ONE OF SAID STABLE REMANENT STATES, SAID SETTING MEANS COMPRISING MEANS FOR APPLYING A BIASING CURRENT TO EACH OF THE ADDRESS SEGMENTS DEFINED BY SAID SELECTED ONE OF SAID SECOND PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS, SWITCHING MEANS FOR SWITCHING SAID PARTICULAR ONES OF SAID ADDRESS SEGMENTS TO THE OTHER OF SAID STABLE REMANENT STATES COMPRISING MEANS FOR APPLYING A FIRST PARTIAL SWITCHING CURRENT TO SAID SERIALLY CONNECTED FIRST PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS, MEANS FOR APPLYING A SECOND PARTIAL SWITCHING CIRRENT TO SAID SELECTED ONE OF SAID SECOND PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS COINCIDENTALLY WITH SAID FIRST PARTIAL SWITCHING CURRENT, AND MAGNET MEANS ARRANGED IN INDUCTIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ADDRESS SEGMENTS DEFINED BY SAID SELECTED ONE OF SAID SECOND PLURALITY OF X COORDINATE SOLENOIDS OTHER THAN SAID PARTICULAR ADDRESS SEGMENTS FOR PREVENTING THE SWITCHING OF SAID LASTMENTIONED ADDRESS SEGMENTS; AND MEANS FOR DETECTING FLUX SWITCHING IN SAID FLUX PATHS.
