Gated CPA
Initially, this appears to be a sense amp for reading two columns of the core memory. The board has two threshold amps/latches that feed into what looks like an output amp. We believe the cross-coupled transistors with inductors in the amplifier serve as latches also. It is however a fairly uncommon configuration. Additionally, we're not sure why it's "gated", although pin 1 may be an effective "enable". Pin 3 may also be a bias voltage or "gate". The back-biased diodes on the transformer legs are obviously for switching spike elimination.

Schematic
This schematic was reverse engineered by tracing out each individual line on the board itself. We are fairly confident it is mostly correct, but there could be errors still present.
