Progress with Transistors

Burton R. Lester

Advances in transistor-device technology and production are hastening the introduction of this device in motion-picture and television equipment. This paper reviews the progress in device characteristics—i.e., gain, bandwidth, frequency, noise, power and life survival; the effect of tremendous increase of usage in the portable-radio, automobile-radio and computer industries on quantity production and unit price; and the net result in providing devices which meet the needs of the television and motion-picture fields.
