Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A CRAM cartridge contained 256 3x14" cards with a PET film magnetic recording surface. Each Deck of cards could contain up to 5.5 MB of alphanumeric characters. The cards were ingeniously suspended from eight d-section rods, which were selectively rotated to release a specific card, each card having a unique pattern of notches at one end. The selected card was dropped and wrapped around a rotating drum to be read or written. Each cartridge could store 5.5MB. Later versions of the CRAM; 353-2 and 353-3 used Decks of 512 card, thus doubling the storage capacity of each unit. The CRAM was also available on NCR's third generation NCR Century 100 as the NCR/653-100. Each card contains seven tracks containing 1550 slabs each of them. Normally the track was initialized with a four slab header containing the cartridge number (2), the card number and the track number.
