Talk:Frederick Williams

The entry:
 * Williams, Frederick, (died 1977), inventor of the mercury tube

on LoPbN Wil appears to be a misinterpretation of refs that Google turns up on him, confounding info on mercury delay lines with the Williams tube, and/or construing the early use of mercury delay lines (AFAIK a sequential rather than random memory) to be the first RAM (which is attributed to him). I have removed the ref to mercury from his LoPbN-tree entry, and written his bio stub without any mention of mercury or delay lines. --Jerzy•t 07:37 & 17:13, 4 October 2005 (UTC) (UTC)
