  • Abstract
    The purpose of this paper, written in 1954, is to review the facts concerning the application of transistors. During the period 1947-1948, the transistor was pictured by the uninitiated as a magical, tiny new device that in short order would completely replace electron tubes and furnish, for all practical purposes, an indefinite life for equipment.
