A. W. Haydon

Arthur William Haydon (1906–1982) (known as A. W. or Bill Haydon) was an American inventor known for his work in the field of microminiature electrical timing and governing devices for industrial and military use, some of which were to be used in early computing devices.

In 1945 he created the A. W. Haydon company in Waterbury, Connecticut, producing timing motors and related devices.[1][2] Haydon sold his company, and many of his patents, in 1951 to North American Philips for over $1,000,000.[3][4]
