Dr Charles Eryl Wynn-Williams. 1903 Born. became an academic at Cambridge University. 1930s Developed electronic counters using thyratron valves for counting emissions of sub-atomic particles. WWII At Telecommunications Research Establishment. Developed a method of helping to decrypt non-Morse Code messages (which the British labelled "Fish").
Charles Eryl Wynn-Williams war ein walisischer Physiker und Pionier bei der Anwendung von Elektronenröhren in der Messtechnik, insbesondere bei Frequenzzählern. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs konstruierte er eine spezielle kryptanalytische Maschine, die erfolgreich zum Bruch der deutschen Lorenz-Schlüsselmaschine eingesetzt wurde.
In 1930 Wynn Williams devised a way to use electronic valves as counting devices. He connected several thyratrons in a ring circuit in which only one thyratron at a time could pass a current. Successive electric pulses would activate the thyratrons in sequence.
