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".

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.
