A piece of radio history: Transistors
Transistors were invented by Walter Brattain, John Bardeen and William Shockley (who shared the Nobel prize for physics for their invention in 1956), and were first produced commercially by the American company Raytheon, in 1952. The first transistor radio, the Regency TR-1, went on sale in the US in November 1954. In the U.K. transistor production was led by Mullard who, by the mid 1950's, was producing its highly successful 'OC' tr
