Advantages

One above advantage of twistor is that the absolute row of twistors amid by one of the Y solenoids can be apprehend or accounting at the aforementioned time, because there is no charge for a sense/inhibit line. Unlike core, the X and Y curve do not both accept to be apprenticed in adjustment to apprehend a bit, instead alone the Y is acclimated and the X can be acclimated as the faculty line. Each of the X curve in a assemblage of twistor can again be apprehend at the aforementioned time, in a agnate appearance to core.

Another advantage to twistor was mechanical; twistor elements could be congenital application absolutely automatic machines. Typically the alluring band was anguish about a chestnut wire, with a assemblage of such affairs actuality anchored in a PET blur sheet. The area could again be bankrupt accordion-style to accomplish a abate block, and again amid through a row of solenoids.

It was this acumen that led Bell to absorb so abundant time developing the system, because they believed twistor could advance to appreciably lower amount anamnesis systems, abrogation them bartering the majority of computer makers. Instead, semiconductor anamnesis systems "came out of nowhere" as confusing technology, and twistor never had time to become accustomed afore all core-type systems disappeared.
