The Williams Tube provided the first large amount of random access memory (RAM), and it was a convenient method of data-storage. The UNIVAC had an add time of 120 microseconds, multiply time of 1,800 microseconds and a divide time of 3,600 microseconds. Designing (1942) a better calculating machine based on the work of John Atanasoff that would use vacuum tubes to speed up calculations. Data was stored and counted mechanically using 3000 decimal storage wheels, 1400 rotary dial switches, and 500 miles of wire. The prototype won the team a grant of $850 to build a full-scale model. They spent the next two years further improving the Atanasoff-Berry Computer. This was the world's first electronic, fully programmable digital computer based on a binary floating-point number and switching system.
