The beginning of translinear circuit design

In the autumn of 1954, I met my lifetime companion and partner, whom we´ll identify just by the initials “BJT,” at a research lab in the south of England. After a decade of deepening familiarity and joyous discovery together, we moved to Oregon, to continue our adventures at Tektronix. This company, dedicated to fashioning the world´s finest oscilloscopes, took the unusual step in 1965 of establishing an integrated circuit production line, to support future instrumentation.
