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.
