It was like the equivalent to one kilobit per second modem.

这就像是个秒传输速率为1千比特的调制解调。

A CD, just for comparison, is a little over 1,400 kilobits per second.

CD，仅作比较，传输速率略高于秒1,400千比特。

Each of our 32 squares has 4 matrices, so that’s 32 thousand, 7 hundred and 68 bits.

我们个32个有4个矩阵，所以总共是32千7百68比特。

That's a grand total of 45 thousands bits of memory, not too shabby for 1949!

那总共是45千比特的内存，在1949年这已经不赖了！

And, instead of just a single plane of cores, like this, it was 16 boards deep, providing roughly 16 thousand bits of storage.

而且，不像这里只有个单层的磁芯，它是有16块板深，提供了大约16千比特的存储。
