ID: frederic-c-williams

Frederic C. Williams is a significant figure in the history of computer science, particularly known for his contributions to the development of early computing technologies. He was involved in the design of the Williams-Kilburn tube, which was an early form of computer memory that used cathode ray tubes to store data. The Williams tube was one of the first types of random-access memory, allowing computers to store and retrieve information much more quickly than previous methods, such as punched cards or magnetic tape.
