...Transistors are generally mounted in plastic or metal for easy handling, but the essential works of the smallest models are only one tenth of an inch long and fifteen-thousandths of an inch in diameter, hardly big enough to see without squinting. Last week Dr. A. E. Anderson of Bell Telephone Laboratories told a Manhattan meeting of the American Association of Aeronautical Engineers about the latest transistor progress. The airmen listened intently, because modern aircraft, especially military models, carry ever-increasing loads of vacuum tubes. Any chance of relief from this bulky burden is good news...
Transistors were invented 3½ years ago by a research group under Bell's Dr. William Shockley, and are now being developed for practical use by another team led by J. A. Morton. Their theory is complex in detail and full of difficult quantum mechanics, but their general principle is fairly simple...
...heated filament. Most of the currents that pulse through electronic apparatus are extremely small, but when they are amplified or relayed by a conventional vacuum tube, its filament consumes a full watt. It is the same, says Dr. Ralph Bown, vice president in charge of research at Bell Laboratories, as "sending a twelve-car freight train, locomotive and all, to carry a pound of butter." A transistor gets along with a millionth of a watt, not enough in most cases to make it faintly warm. The Bell men take a bit of blotting paper, chew it for a while...
...office has sent some men out to build oil refineries in India for Standard Vacuum: some to work on secret government prospects at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory; others to executive jobs in department stores like Macy's, and still others to designing helicopters for Bell Aircraft...
...Huskies scored at 9:14 and 12:18 of the third period, and Dave Bell beat Brad Richardson on a corner lift in the sudden-death overtime.This was the shot that broke the Crimson's heart. Northeastern wing DAVE BELL stopped around the defense and whipped the puck (arrow) into the net to give the Huskies a 3 to 2 overtime triumph...
