Abstract: The junction transistor and diode with support from saturable magnetic core have deepened the area of study and application in solid state electronics. While transistors are at a disadvantage in temperature sensitivity when compared to tubes, their ruggedness, longevity, lack of heater supply and high circuit efficiency should soon make them the principal active circuit element. Transistors operate on a dual basis analogous to tubes and yet in different modes. As a switch, they are superior to tubes and offer many advantages over electromechanical relays. With saturable cores they compete successfully with certain rotating machines and offer a large class of almost unexplored electronic circuits.
