Abstract :
The memory of a number of electronic computers is based on the storage of discrete charges on the inner face of a cathode ray tube. The effect of variations in the resistor network determining the location of these charges is investigated in this paper. It is shown that substantial advantages can be derived from a raster with nonuniform spacing, such a raster having somewhat the appearance of the stripes of a Scotch Plaid.
