Abstract
The elastic storage circuit disclosed permits insertions and deletions to be made as required without disturbing the operation of a downstream framing circuit by inserting or deleting exactly the amount of data contained in the period of the framing indicator. In particular in certain instances with certain types of framing circuits and certain types of framing indicators the same effect may be accomplished by inserting or deleting a quantity of data equal to one-half the period of the framing indicator. The use of the elastic storage circuit described herein permits the required insertions and deletions to be made in the data without throwing the framing circuit out of frame. Thus only the data actually inserted or deleted is lost and the much longer and more extensive loss of data which occurs during a reframe is avoided.
