Presents the cover from the proceedings of this conference. The 1956 Transistor Circuits Conference is sponsored jointly by the IRE Professional Group on Circuit Theory, The Committee on Transistor Circuits of AIEE, and the University of Pennsylvania. The Conference is patterned after the previous ones held at the same location for the past several years and will include information on both linear and nonlinear transistor circuit applications. Emphasis will be on material not previously available in the literature and the program is designed to be of greatest value to engineers who already possess some knowledge of transistor circuit behavior. However, there is one day of tutorial papers scheduled for the purpose of orienting those who are newer to this branch of science. Publication of many of the papers in professional journals is planned in lieu of Conference Transactions.
