1956D. A. Buck in Proc. Inst. Radio Engin. XLIV. 482 (heading) The cryotron—a superconductive computer component. Ibid., The cryotron, in its simplest form, consists of a straight piece of wire about one inch long with a single-layer control winding wound over it. Current in the control winding creates a magnetic field which causes the central wire to change from its superconducting state to its normal state. The device has current gain, that is, a small current can control a larger current; it has power gain so that cryotrons can be interconnected in logical networks as active elements.

Machine Translation ii. 21 Cryotrons also provide immense storage facilities on a very limited volume of matter. 1965New Scientist 4 Nov. 331/3 Networks of cryotrons for storage..can be built up on one plane in one sequence of operations. |
