Abstract
The flying spot store is a semipermanent information storage system developed for use in an electronic switching system which utilizes cathode ray tube access to information stored on photographic emulsion. Parallel optical channels are used to provide high capacity and parallel readout. A feedback system provides rapid and precise beam positioning for writing and readout. This paper describes the fundamental design considerations for memory systems of this type, stressing physical realizability, speed, capacity and other system features. The characteristics of a laboratory model are presented.
