To Guy Leech:

The person you should contact is Tony Sale, currently at the Science
Museum, London. In the 1940s, while still a schoolboy, he learnt about
the Williams tube, and (unsuccessfully) tried to make one. He has now
made a modern working replica of the Williams tube, and is preparing a
paper on it. (At the Science Museum he is charge of efforts to get a
number of old computers operational again.)
