Fork 7 n h J Company Operations It has been just ten years since the transistor was first demonstrated by the Bell Labor atories, according to Ralph K Ryan, Manager of the Mountain States Telephone Company here This unusual device, no longer than an eraser on a pencil, her alded what has come to be called the "new electronic age." The transistor spanned in 10 years the development achieved by the vacuum tube in 40 years. It can do almost everything an ordi nary tube can do and do it cheaper over a longer period of time. The transistor amplifies, oscil lates, has no grid, gives off no heat and operates as soon as it is turned on. It has no warm-up warm-up period like a vacuum tube. It has an indefinite life, perhaps as long as a century, and uses only minute amounts of power. A flashlight battery will energiize a transistor for hundreds of hours. Although the transistor is only ten years old it has found its way into a wide variety of uses in hearing aids, radios, fuel In jection systems, portable TV sets, phonographs, clocks, toys and most of all, in the telephone in dustry. One of the dramatic uses of transistors has been in America's space satellites. Trans lstors in the "Explorer" and the "Vanguard" satellite transmit ters relayed to earth the data sought by scientists. As the use of transistors has spread its cost has decreased. A transistor that would have cost $21 in 1953 can be purchased to day for $1.50. In 1957 there were 30 million produced and it is expected this number will climb to a ha!f-billion by 1965, and the price will continue to be lower. Commercially, militarily, scien tifically and in the telephone business, the transistor is ful filling the promise made by the Bell Labs ten years ago that it would have "far-reaching significance signif-icance in the field of electronics," Ryan said. Girls Urged To Enter Queen Contest All girls of American Fork, eighteen years of age or older, are urged to enter the Steel Day Queen Contest.
