Computer Control VII

Panel 7 of the CCU is a further part of the multiplication logic.

The signal Dx(M) is raised whenever the bit corresponding to the current position of Dx is set in the Multiplier Tank. This sets FF7 whose positive output is G3+ which controls the output from the Multiplicand Tank to the Adder. The flipflop is reset by the Dy pulse. The negative output of this flipflop, G3-, does not appear to be needed and can be omitted.

In addition the signal Da(N) indicates that the multiplicand is negative, and enables the addition of ones until reset by evD0.

The logic of this panel follows that of Figure 15, apart from timing issues.
