INTRODUCTION: 

It is now some 50 years since the first transistor was introduced on December 23,1947. For those of us who experienced the change from glass envelope tubes to thesolid-state era, it still seems like a few short years ago. The first edition of this text contained heavy coverage of tubes, with succeeding editions involving the important decision of how much coverage should be dedicated to tubes and how much to semi conductor devices. It no longer seems valid to mention tubes at all or to compare the advantages of one over the other—we are firmly in the solid-state era
