Hardware Description

This was a transistor-based electronic computer developed in 1957 at the Electrotechnical Laboratory after the ETL Mark III. Just like the ETL Mark III, this machine used dynamic circuits for basic circuits, and the transistors were the junction type. The clock was synchronous, single-phase and 180KHz, and a high-speed magnetic drum was used for the memory unit (memory capacity 1000 words).
