The Tank Number Decoder is used to select the memory tank to be accessed, based on bits 7 - 11 of the Tank Flashing Unit.
The report provides a textual description but no diagrams. Initially I chose to implement this unit using 4-input and gates, but this has been revised after further study of photographs of the panels which we believe performed these functions.
The Memory Access modules are replicated over four racks, with two in the fron row and two in the back row. The first level of decoding uses the two most significant bits of the tank number field (bits 10 and 11) to determine which rack should be selected. It is not clear where this logic is located, but somewhere near the Order Flashing Units would seem sensible.
The two bits of the tank number (10 and 11), are gated with the coincidence gate CG+ and C17 and its inverse. This latter determines if the access is a read from or a write to memory. The gates provide control signals to the individual racks for further decoding.
