At the time, the early 1960's were referred to as the 'golden age' of electronics, as the seminal 1947 invention of the point-contact transistor by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley at the Bell Telephone Labs soon revolutionized forever the world of electronics design and ensuing products. The early 1960's foresaw the last vestige of vacuum-tube logic and amplifier circuit designs, which were rapidly being replaced by a wider and wider variety of emerging solid-state designs incorporating germanium and silicon transistors. As a young engineer myself, I was 'swept up' in this revolution, and as a project engineer at Measurement Research Center (MRC) in Iowa City, Iowa my task was to 'transistorize' various components in the first high-speed electronic scoring machine invented by Dr. E. F. Lindquist, President and Founder of MRC. My first of several "Ideas for Design" (pages #146 & 147), "Holding Resistor Allows Narrow Pulse Triggering of SCR Circuit", was published in the June 8, 1960 issue of ELECTRONIC DESIGN. Accordingly, I am including the Original Copy of this issue in my MRC collection of UI accession items in the hopes that future researchers will enjoy gazing at all the products that would be considered archaic and woefully obsolete today. Additionally, a JVM Archival media disc is included which contains not only a reproduction of my brief article, but a number of JPEG image scans of many of the ads in the magazine for transistors, voltmeters, power supplies, resistors, and related components that were the "stock in trade" for the circuit designers in the early 1960's
