A really great read, put together by Duncan Brown after his seminar at this years Pinball Expo. http://backglass.org/williams/tlpdohw/expo2016/

an interesting project
I am glad he found these drawings and was able to make scans of them

Yep another great reminder of the thrill of the chase, reward and loss.
Some of those drawings look really cool e.g.. CATAPULT
thanks for the post

Cheers for the link, great read and must have been satisfying to finally close the loop. Duncan has always been very dedicated to Pinball history. Still waiting for his Backglass picture book to be finished though.

Another article about Harry Williams that Duncan posted.... http://backglass.org/williams/TrueAu...ryWilliams.pdf

I had the honor to do a separate seminar with Duncan on Saturday at the show where we discussed the history of Williams and the important contributions of a man named Gordon Horlick. Our subject material was the archives of game folders that Greg Berry and I rescued from IPB in 2009 and some scans that Duncan had of the early game designs. The archives I have go all the way back to 1946 and the very first Williams production game "Suspense". We used a power point presentation of around 200 scans of the archives from the game folders. Not sure how I can post them or make them available to everyone but I do have the files uploaded on my google drive.
