Williams tubes[edit]

The IBM 701 is stated to have 1024 bits / tube. This article for the 702 says 1000 bits / tube. I am guessing that should also be 1024 bits. Wizzy…☎ 17:26, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The 702 was decimal and thus the tubes probably held 1000 bits each. I was at IBM just a bit later and the lore was that the 702 was withdrawn because the Williams tubes were not sufficiently reliable for business applications. NormHardy (talk) 06:49, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
