Small model of the notched disc memory device. The rotation of each disc is started by a separate solenoid device; full rotation is accomplished by a small motor and two friction wheels as designed for the large model. Using the smallest heads available, each disc could store about one million bits of information on both sides. The access time for any data on any disc in the final machine was estimated to be one second.
