Two teams invented the transistor simultaneously without knowing it. Unfortunately, the patent was filed 48 days after Bell Labs's and was subsequently forgotten. Team led by Herbert F. Mataré and Heinrich Welker in Aulnay-sous-Bois, France at "Westinghouse freins et signaux".

Have you seen project tinkertoy, the future the transistor stole from us.

Awesome. Thanks. I haven't. Have you ever seen anything about Mallory Micro Pellets?

I have never heard of that, thats very cool. Its interesting to see the different manufacturing methods that were tried before the through hole PCB won.

Imagine if these people could see what we've done with transistors today and how much power consumption AI requires. They'd be completely amazed.

Great video!

Many adances in electronics and signal processing came from the telcos. Pulse-code modulation (PCM) for example was developed by Alec Reeves in 1937 while he was working at a telephone company.

the start of huge increase of " modern civilization diseases"
