    294 bits in modern terms = 36.75 bytes (8 bits in a byte), they must not have used 8-bit circuitry in that computer. (or else there would be an exact number of bytes)

    I dont know it exactly in computer terms from those days but I have counted the ferrite beads, there are 7 rows of 42 beads. Presume every bead is a 0 or 1 there are 294 positions to switch as 1 or zero.

    Funny, I bought it ca. 1974 on the Waterlooplein market in Amsterdam (when it still was a real flee market), together with other components from a computer built with seperate transistors (from the pre chips time).
