There's a great video that goes over an old calculator that used delay lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BIx2x-Q2fE


Nice video indeed (I only wish the guy pointed the camera more to the objects of interest rather than his own face), but what is shown is clearly a magnetostrictive delay line (rather than an acoustic one) which is similar to one shown here: http://www.vintagecalculators.com/html/calculator_memory_tec....
