In response, new forms of delay line memory were invented, such as magnetostrictive delay lines.

作为回应，发明了新形式的延迟线存储器，例如磁致伸缩延迟线。

Importantly, unlike delay line memory, any bit could be accessed at any time.

重要的是，与延迟线存储器不同，任何位都可以随时访问。

These delay lines use a metal wire that could be twisted, creating little torsional waves that represented data.

这些延迟线使用可以扭曲的金属线，产生代表数据的小扭转波。

However, a big drawback with delay line memory is that you could only read one bit of data from a tube at any given instant.

然而，延迟线存储器的一大缺点是您在任何给定时刻只能从管中读取一位数据。

However, delay line memory was largely obsolete by the mid 1950s, surpassed in performance, reliability and cost by a new kid on the block: magnetic core memory which was constructed out of little magnetic donuts, called cores.

然而，延迟线存储器在 20 世纪 50 年代中期已经基本过时，在性能、可靠性和成本方面被一个新产品超越：磁芯存储器， 它由称为磁芯的小磁性甜甜圈构成。
