That and each station had multiple backups plus there one a cross link
at each station to transmit data forward to the next station and receive
from the previous station. Or that at least is what I remember. In
ET school in 1972 we had computer that amounted to several transistor
and/or/nand/nor gates and J/K flip flops, and counter registers. We
learned to program it with simple commands and used it to drive a
servo-syncro set.
