There are many great articles about the Apollo guidance computer. Can anyone point me in the direction of information that shows the component memory modules for the computer?
What exactly were the jumper modules for example? Thanks.

Perhaps not specifically what you were seeking, but this journal, "Preserving the Apollo Guidance Computer," from John Gould's experience at this year's Spacefest documents Jimmie Loocke's and Mike Stewart's efforts to bring an AGC back to life, restoring it working order.
If all goes well, on 20 July 2019, the AGC will run the program "Aurora-12", the LM computer's self-diagnostic, becoming the only operational AGC in existence.

For the genuinely interested about the AGC folks, this video in a great assessment of the AGC operations.
