There are many kinds of mechanical memory.  In particular, I recall 
an early TTY device that used a large rotating drum with cams 
embedded in the surface.  One could flip a cam one way or the other 
and then read them out.  I'm trying to remember what sort of machine 
this was used on and its application, but my memory sadly fails me.

Cheers,
