Turner Rufus P. Transistors Theory and Practice

New York: Gernback Library Inc, 1954. — 143 p.The purpose of this booh is to provide aji eicmentary explana- tion of transistor theory and operation for the thousands of practical electronic workers.
A comparatively enormous quantity of periodical literature has appeared during the transistor’s first five years. Unfortunately, however, much of the explanatory material, chiefly from the pens of advanced physicists, has been so involved mathematically as to be completely useless to the practical man and not too well understood by some engineers. In this book, I have tried to tell in simple language how transistors work and what their circuits are like. I hope I have achieved my purpose without too often falling into the sin of oversimplification. It is hoped that this work will fill the present need for an introductory text.
