Magnetic shift register

Claim 1

IN A MAGNETIC SHIFT REGISTER CAPABLE OF STORING AT LEAST TWO BINARY DIGITS OF INFORMATION, FIST AND SECOND MEANS FOR RESPECTIVELY SUPPLYING SYNCHRONOUS SHIFT PULSES OF OPPOSITE POLARITY, EACH OF SAID FIRST AND SECOND MEANS ADAPTED TO BE BIASED IN OPPOSITION TO ITS RESPECTIVE PULSE POLARITY, AT LEAST TWO MAGNETIC CORES EACH HAVING A SUBSTANTIALLY RECTANGULAR HYSTERESIS CHARACTERISTIC AND CAPABLE, RESPECTIVELY, OF EXISTING IN ONE OF TWO MAGNETIC STATES, A SINGLE WINDING WOUND UPON A FIRST ONE OF SAID CORES, SAID WINDING HAVING AN INPUT TERMINAL, A FIRST UNILATERALLY CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT CONNECTED TO DERIVE POSITIVE SHAFT PULSES FROM SAID FIRST MEANS FOR APPLICATION TO SAID WINDING, A FIRST STORAGE MEANS ADAPTED TO RECEIVE INFORMATION FROM SAID FIRST CORE UPON A CHANGE IN THE MAGNETIC STATE THEREOF, FIRST PULSE DELAY MEANS FOR TRANSFERRING INFORMATION FROM SAID FIRST STORAGE MEANS TO THE SECOND ONE OF SAID CORES, SAID FIRST STORAGE MEANS COOPERATING WITH SAID FIRST PULSE DELAY MEANS TO RETARD THE TRANSFER OF INFORMATION FOR A TIME PERIOD AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE DURATION OF ONE OF SAID POSITIVE SHIFT PULSES, A SINGLE WINDING WOUND UPON A SECOND ONE OF SAID MAGNETIC CORES CONNECTED TO TRANSMIT SAID DELAYED INFORMATION TO SAID SECOND CORE, A SECOND UNILATERALLY CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT CONNECTED TO DERIVE NEGATIVE SHIFT PULSES FROM SAID SECOND MEANS FOR APPLICATION TO THE LATTER WINDING, A SECOND STORAGE MEANS ADAPTED TO RECEIVE INFORMATION FROM SAID SECOND CORE UPON A CHANGE IN THE MAGNETIC STATE THEREOF, SECOND PULSE DELAY MEANS FOR TRANSFERRING INFORMATION FROM SAID SECOND STORAGE MEANS, SAID SECOND STORAGE MEANS COOPERATING WITH SAID SECOND PULSE DELAY MEANS TO RETARD THE TRANSFER OF INFORMATION FOR A TIME PERIOD AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE DURATION OF ONE OF SAID NEGATIVE SHIFT PULSES, SAID BIAS VOLTAGE OPERATING TO MAKE SAID FIRST AND SECOND UNILATERALLY CONDUCTIVE ELEMENTS NON-CONDUCTIVE DURING THE NON-PULSE PERIOD; WHEREBY INFORMATION SUPPLIED TO SAID INPUT TERMINAL FOR STORAGE IN SAID FIRST MAGNETIC CORE IS PASSED ON FOR STORAGE TO SAID SECOND MAGNETIC CORE UPON THE APPLICATION OF SAID SHIFT PULSES.
