Item Description
'The transistor in the form described herein consists of two point-contact electrodes, called emitter and collector, placed in close proximity on the upper face of a small block of germanium. The base electrode, the third element of the triode, is a loarge area, low resistance contact on the lower face...' (from the Abstract)'We plan to give here an outline of the history of the development, to give some further data on the characteristics and to discuss the physical principles involved...'.
