The first computer I ever worked on had 8KB of core memory. It was an old Digital Equipment Corporation pdp-8/e. I loved that machine and its open face tale drives and teletype with paper tape punch and reader and card reader.

And rope memory!
Is that… 32 bytes of memory? Wow, I didn’t know they also came in rope form factor as well.
Some cores appear to touch other neighboring cores. Won’t that cause issues to the core’s magnetic properties?
