    Abstract: 1,078,383. Data storage. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. March 15, 1966 [March 26, 1965], No. 11189/66. Heading G4C. A recirculating store has (n+1) storage positions to enable a set of n characters stored therein to be read in the reverse order, there being means for reading out every n character times from a particular storage position. Referring to Fig. 1 (not shown), a delay line (LSp) has outputs (N, L) n and (n+ 1) character positions from the input (E), either being connectible to feed the input (E) for recirculation. Reversal is achieved by using the (n+1) output (L) for recirculation and gating (U) a character from the n output every n character times, using a counter (ZZ). Leading zeros may be suppressed by changing the output used for recirculation under control of comparison of the two outputs (N, L). A magnetic drum or disc may replace the delay line.
