BARDEEN, John (1908-1991) and Walter BRATTAIN (1902-1987). "Physical principles involved in transistor action." In Bell System Technical Journal 28, no. 2 (April 1949): 239-77. 4 o. Whole number. Original blue printed wrappers. THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE REPORT ON THE TRANSISTOR, which had been announced in three brief papers published in the Physical Review the previous year. The transistor gradually replaced the bulkier vacuum tube, allowing heat reduction and miniaturization of electronic devices. Transistors began to be employed on a large scale in computer manufacturing in the late 1950s; they were eventually miniaturized and incorporated into microprocessors. Bardeen and Brattain shared the 1956 Nobel Prize for physics with William Shockley for their investigations of semiconductors (the materials of which transistors are made) and for their discovery of the transistor. OOC 450. [ With: ] RIDENOUR, Louis N. (1911-59). "The role of the computer." In Scientific American 187, no. 3 (September 1952): 116-30. Whole number. Original printed wrappers. Includes an illustration of one of the earliest transistorized computers, an experimental machine built by J. H. Felker of Bell Laboratories. OOC 863.
