Write Only Memory

In 1972 Signetics recognized April Fools day by printing a full color datasheet for a Write-Only Memory. This is a chip which accepts data but never reads it back. Suggested uses include a data logger for bombs. Graphs show "number of pins left versus number of insertions" and other useful data. A couple of pins are dedicated to 6.3 volt AC input... for the filaments, of course! A scanned version is here (page 1) and here (page 2) (these are 150k .JPGs).
