1,004,399. Sorting digital data words. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. May 29, 1964 [July 2, 1963], No. 22282/64. Heading G4M. Words obtained serially from a magnetic tape unit 10 are applied parallel-by-bit to a decoder 44 which energizes the output 45A-45P corresponding to each word received, the identity of the words received in random order from tape unit 10 being stored in bi-stable circuits 61A- 61P. AND gates 71A-71P are enabled in turn after the read operation so that encoder 72 supplies the words in ordered sequence for writing on tape unit 10. |
