 The Development of the Transistor
by Western Electric & Bell Labs

VintageWindings Western Electric Transistor Development DVD

     This is a .pdf of a rather thick book that Bell Labs had printed to be given to attendees of their September of 1951 transistor symposium. This book had a collection of all of the Bell papers that had been written on the subject of transistor engineering up to that point. I have also included a couple of other transistor publications that Western Electric and Bell Labs have subsequently released.  The files in this collection are .pdf's that were made from hi-res scans of original documents. These are not scans from the web. All scans were done in hi-res, then cleaned, straightened and non original marks removed were practical. Most folks associate Bell Labs with the invention of the transistor. Ironically, that isn't the case as J. E. Lilienfeld filed for a patent (#1,745,175) for what was essentially an FET in 1925. He was granted the patent in 1930, about 20 years ahead of the WE pack! Full book details below. Now FREE for personal download.

Note:
Most browsers will open .pdf's in a lower resolution. To view these files
in full resolution it is best to download first and open in a good .pdf
viewer.
