Method of packaging and interconnecting circuit components

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF PACKAGING AN ARRAY OF MULTI-CHANNEL MAGNETIC CORES TO FORM A MAGNETIC CORE MEMORY PLANE WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF FORMING IN THE FACE OF A RIGID CORE SUPPORTING PANEL HAVING PLANE SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL FACE AND BACK SURFACES SPACED FROM EACH OTHER TO PROVIDE A PLANE THICKNESS IN EXCESS OF THE THICKNESS OF THE CORES TO BE PACKAGED THEREIN A PLURALITY OF SPACED NON-CIRCULAR CORE-ENCLOSING SOCKETS TERMINATING IN A MOUTH AT THE FACE OF SAID PANEL, FORMING CORE-CONNECTOR PASSAGES THROUGH THE BOTTOM WALL OF EACH OF SAID SOCKETS, FORMING CORE CONNECTOR PATTERNS ON THE BACK SURFACE OF SAID PANEL INTERCONNECTING SOCKET PASSAGES OF SELECTED PAIRS OF SOCKETS, FORMING CORE CONNECTOR PATTERNS ON THE FACIAL SURFACE OF SAID PANEL WHICH TERMINATE AT THE MOUTH OF SELECTED PAIRS OF SOCKETS, INSERTING IN EACH OF SAID SOCKETS A NON-CIRCULAR CORE CORRESPONDING IN SIZE AND OUTLINE TO THE SHAPE OF SAID NON-CIRCULAR SOCKETS AND HAVING A PLURALITY OF CORE CONNECTOR CHANNELS THERETHROUGH CORRESPONDING IN POSITION TO SAID RESPECTIVE SOCKET PASSAGES, INSERTING INTO THE OPEN MOUTH OF SAID SOCKETS ONE OF A PLURALITY OF ALIGNED PLUGS OF RIGID MATERIAL AND HAVING IN EACH THEREOF THROUGH CONNECTOR PASSAGES IN REGISTRATION WITH THE CONNECTOR PASSAGES IN SAID CORES AND HAVING CORE CONNECTOR PATTERNS ON THE EXPOSED FACE THEREOF IN COMMUNICATION WITH SELECTED ONES OF THE CONNECTOR PATTERNS ON THE FACE OF SAID PANEL, AND FORMING A COATING OF CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL ON THE FACE AND BACK CONNECTOR PATTERNS OF SAID PANEL AND DIRECTLY IN THE ALIGNED PASSAGES OF SAID CORES, PLUGS AND SOCKETS.

Claim 2

THE METHOD OF PACKAGING AN ARRAY OF MULTI-CHANNEL MAGNETIC CORES TO FORM A MAGNETIC CORE MEMORY PLANE WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF FORMING IN THE FACE OF A RIGID CORE SUPPORTING PANEL HAVING PLANE SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL FACE AND BACK SURFACES SPACED FROM EACH OTHER TO PROVIDE A PLANE THICKNESS IN EXCESS OF THE THICKNESS OF THE CORES TO BE PACKAGED THEREIN A PLURALITY OF SPACED NON-CIRCULAR CORE-ENCLOSING SOCKETS TERMINATING IN A MOUTH AT THE FACE OF SAID PANEL, FORMING CORE-CONNECTOR PASSAGES THROUGH THE BOTTOM WALL OF EACH OF SAID SOCKETS, FORMING CORE CONNECTOR PATTERNS ON THE BACK SURFACE OF SAID PANEL INTERCONNECTING SOCKET PASSAGES OF SELECTED PAIRS OF SOCKETS, FORMING CORE CONNECTOR PATTERNS ON THE FACIAL SURFACE OF SAID PANEL WHICH TERMINATE AT THE MOUTH OF SELECTED PAIRS OF SOCKETS, INSERTING IN EACH OF SAID SOCKETS A NON-CIRCULAR CORE CORRESPONDING IN SIZE AND OUTLINE TO THE SHAPE OF SAID NON-CIRCULAR SOCKETS AND HAVING A PLURALITY OF CORE CONNECTOR CHANNELS THERETHROUGH CORRESPONDING IN POSITION TO SAID RESPECTIVE SOCKET PASSAGES, INSERTING INTO THE OPEN MOUTH OF SAID SOCKETS ONE OF A PLURALITY OF ALIGNED PLUGS OF RIGID MATERIAL AND HAVING IN EACH THEREOF THROUGH CONNECTOR PASSAGES IN REGISTRATION WITH THE CONNECTOR PASSAGES IN SAID CORES AND HAVING CORE CONNECTOR PATTERNS ON THE EXPOSED FACE THEREOF IN COMMUNICATION WITH SELECTED ONES OF THE CONNECTOR PATTERNS ON THE FACE OF SAID PANEL, AND FORMING A COATING OF CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL ON THE FACE AND BACK CONNECTOR PATTERNS OF SAID PANEL AND DIRECTLY IN THE ALIGNED PASSAGES OF SAID CORES, PLUGS AND SOCKETS.
