The Williams Tube
A cathode-ray tube that held each bit as a dot of charge on its screen: the first random-access memory ever built.
Hardwired, the dots refresh across the screen.

Hardwired, the dots refresh across the screen.
Hand-threaded ferrite rings, each one a bit, read and written by the wires running through it. Core ran the world's computers for twenty years.
Hardwired, the cores flip.
Tubes of mercury that stored bits as pulses of sound, circulating end to end until the machine read them.
Hardwired, the pulses run.
The first commercial DRAM chip, the one that ended core. The last address holds the first chip.
Hardwired, the gold catches the light.
