		In 1945, and again in 1946, Freddie Williams visited the Radiation Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA in connection with their massive 24-volume Radiation Laboratory Series on Electrical Engineering (informally known as the "five-foot-shelf"!); he was a co-editor and contributor to volumes 19, Waveforms, and 20, Electronic Time Measurement.
		The second battle Freddie Williams fought was that universities and their researchers should be entitled to the financial rewards of their inventions, rather than the government just because the government funded the Universities.
