The BINAC was a bit-serial binary computer with a 512-word acoustic mercury delay line memory divided into 16 channels each holding 32 words (31-bit) with an additional 11-bit space between words to allow for circuit delays in switching.
The BINAC was a bit-serial binary computer with two independent CPUs, each with its own 512-word acoustic mercury delay line memory. The 512-word acoustic mercury delay line memories were divided into 16 channels each holding 32 words (31-bit) with an additional 11-bit space between words to allow for circuit delays in switching.
