The New Era in Electronics by G. Millington, M.I.E.E . Chairman of the Electronics and Communications Section, Institution of Electrical Engineers
This week electronic engineers are meeting in London to discuss one of the most important developments in electronics since the invention of the valve fifty years ago - the transistor. Already transistors have replaced valves in existing equipment and have made possible the design of entirely new devices.
