William on the History Channel

'Franklin Tech' on Modern Marvels (The History Channel) First aired 6/2006. This is the segment in which William is interviewed.

The entire program can be ordered from The History Channel here.

NOTE: The narrator in this segment gives the impression that the glasses on William's instrument were made at Cal-Glass. That is not the case: they were made by Gerhard Finkenbeiner in 1995. Gerhard, alas, is no longer with us.
