The New Hacker's Dictionary
core
Main storage or RAM. Dates from the days of ferrite-core memory; now archaic as techspeak most places outside IBM, but also still used in the Unix community and by old-time hackers or those who would sound like them. Some derived idioms are quite current; in core, for example, means ‘in memory’ (as opposed to ‘on disk’), and both core dump and the core image or core file produced by one are terms in favor. Some varieties of Commonwealth hackish prefer store.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Core
(a) The conductor or conductors of an electric cable. (See Cable Core.) (b) The iron mass, generally central in an electro-magnet or armature, around which the wire is coiled. It acts by its high permeance to concentrate or multiply the lines of force, thus maintaining a more intense field. (See Armature--Magnet, Electro--Magnet, Field--Core, Laminated). In converters or transformers (See Converter) it often surrounds the wire coils.
Military Dictionary and Gazetteer
core
When cannon are cast hollow, after the plan of Rodman, a core is used to make the bore. It consists of a hollow cast-iron pipe, fluted on the outside, called the core-barrel. This is wrapped with rope and the molding sand is plastered over the rope. A water-pipe entering the core-barrel and reaching nearly to the bottom, and another leaving it near the top, are used to maintain a circulation of water through it, thus cooling the casting from the interior.
