Rotating Drum Memory with the Bendix G15

The Bendix giveth and the Bendix taketh away. Today, we’re digging in deep with what I consider to be the heart of the machine. So much of the Bendix G15 is dependent on the drum, and I wanna know how that drum works. So, hop on along as we dig in deep on the drum memory and see what we can learn. And at the end, the Bendix has a nasty little surprise for us!
