Hey Andrew,

You didn't wrap the cores, you strung them.

Since the two scientists who invented core memory were Chinese born, I
always thought that they were really trying to invent a high-speed abacus
and developed the core memory when they strung too many wires through the
cores.

I still have a couple in my personal museum.

George
