This enabled an explosion in the electronics industry with products such as the pocket-sized "transistor radios." But this demand created a new problem: warehouse-sized rooms full of employees clumsily soldering transistors together by hand: > > "By 1958 the transistor indus?try faced another crisis. ... Jack Kilby soon [solved] it. A slow-talking Kansan with a leathery face, Kilby had spent a decade in the high-tech boon?docks (Milwaukee) before landing a job at Texas Instruments (Tl) in 1958. Though trained in electrical engineering, Kilby was hired to solve a computer hardware problem known as the tyranny of numbers. Basically, though cheap silicon transistors worked okay, fancy computer circuits required scores of them. That meant companies like TI had to employ whole hangars of low-paid, mostly female technicians who did nothing all day but crouch over microscopes, swearing and sweating in hazmat suits, as they soldered silicon bits together. In addition to being expensive, this process was inefficient. In every circuit, one of those frail wires inevitably broke or worked loose, and the whole circuit died. Yet engineers couldn't get around the need for so many transistors: the tyranny of numbers. > > > Jack Kilby's original integrated circuit > "Kilby arrived at TI during a sweltering June. As a new employee he had no vacation time, so when the cast of thou?sands cleared out for mandatory vacations in July, he was left alone at his bench. The relief of silence no doubt convinced him that employing thousands of people to wire transistors together was asinine, and the absence of supervisors gave him free time to pursue a new idea he called an integrated circuit. Silicon transistors weren't the only parts of a circuit that had to be hand-wired. Carbon resistors and porcelain capacitors also had to be spaghettied together with copper wire. Kilby scrapped that separate-element setup and instead carved every?thing -- all the resistors, transistors, and capacitors -- from one firm block of semiconductor. It was a smashing idea -- the dif?ference, structurally and artistically, between sculpting a statue from one block of marble and carving each limb separately, then trying to fit the statue together with wire. Not trusting the purity of silicon to make the resistors and capacitors, he turned to [the element] germanium for his prototype. > > "Ultimately, this integrated circuit freed engineers from the tyranny of hand-wiring. Because the pieces were all made of the same block, no one had to solder them together. In fact, soon no one even could have soldered them together, because the integrated circuit also allowed engineers to automate the carving process and make microscopic sets of transistors -- the first real computer chips. Kilby never received full credit for his innovation ... but geeks today still pay Kilby the ultimate engineering tribute. In an industry that measures product cycles in months, chips are still made using his basic design fifty years later. And in 2000, he won a belated Nobel Prize for his integrated circuit." > > Sign Up Here > > The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of Elements > Author: Sam Kean > Publisher: Back Bay Books > Copyright 2010 by Sam Kean > Pages: 44-46 > If you wish to read further: Click for Purchase Options > > About Us > DelanceyPlace.com is a brief daily email with an excerpt or quote we view as interesting or noteworthy. > > Follow Us > > > Copyright ? 2018 DelanceyPlace.com, All rights reserved. > In the past you provided Delanceyplace with your email address.

I will be bringing it to the next meeting, BUT, you must let me know ahead of time, so I can plan to bring enough, or not bring any at all! How low are the prices? Low enough to make Crazy Eddie think I'm insane! They start at $1.00 per reel, and go down from there.. (you buy more, you get it cheaper!) $1.00 per reel, or 11 reels for $10.00.. 25 reels for 20.00 etc.. Its mostly name brand, Scotch, Memorex, Ampex, Shamrock etc.. Some store brand, all in decent, re recordable shape. I never saved moldy tape, or tape with broken reels etc. Most of it contains classical music or opera if that's your cup of tea.. You never know, you might just find an old aircheck in the batch. The largest number are 7" reels, but 5" reels are also available. Also, some empty reels as well. Tape is hard to come by these days, and can get very pricy. It's time to dust off that old Webcor, Wollensak, or Ampex.. Tape makes a great Christmas gift for that special someone! They might even ask you what it is... Just remember, please ORDER AHEAD!

See: http://www.njarc.ar88.net/contest.html A little review: THE OBJECT: To use vintage radio s receivers to receive broadcast-band signals from the greatest possible distance. Performance will be judged by the total mileage for your ten best loggings during a 24-hour session.? You will be competing against competitors using similar receivers. The 24-hour-session rule means you don't have to make a large time commitment to be competitive. Let me know what you would like to change.? Please reply all.

I thought a reply to the club rather than a direct one to you might help some of the "outside of the greater NJ area" members to comment.? As you know, we relocated to Maine back in 2014.? DX isn't too different from NJ up here, but enough to give me some advantages into Canada.?? ? ? In the past, has there be any participation from our extended club members?? If so, how was the scoring computed?? For once in a long time, I hope to be part of this event.? Except for a noisy pole transformer and the loose connection on the insulator, I'm in a pretty quite area.? At some point I have to get the power co. out here. ? ? As for my recent DX...? on 1570 AM in Quebec, there is a station that splits between English and French pop music (50's to the 80's or so).? Some nights are better than others and they are reliable for a French ID on the hour and ? hour.? What's attracted us to this station is that they'll play music familiar to us in English, and then later on, or on another night, play the French version.? Sometimes the French version is better.? They have a music format change at midnight if you're checking it out. Regards,Joe Devonshire?

We have, in the past, had members participate from "remote" locations, and the rules support this. *"SCORING: *Distances to stations will be calculated by the committee, and will be based on great circle distances from Freehold, New Jersey for listening posts within a 100-mile radius of Freehold. We will calculate mileage for other entries based on actual listening location. In all cases, please indicate your ten best loggings to make our job easier." Please score yourself, and the committee will double check.? Use the distance calculator on this site:? https://www.distancefromto.net/ Warm up your set, and bring on Canada.

It is "The Bomb" for removing through-hole components from PCB's. It will suck some solder from a radio-terminal-strip joint, but it's not magic, and I don't use it often.? Might be better if you put your iron on one side of the joint, and sucked at the other side. My understanding is that Hakko was the original Japanese brand, and there are numerous Chinese copies that use the same design, and interchangeable parts.? (There are some really nice temperature-controlled soldering irons out there that are Hakko knockoffs, and cost next to nothing.? I think they're an good alternative to trying to keep Weller stations working. LIKE THIS Who needs soldering equipment more than the Chinese?) But I digress.? Found THIS for a few dollars less: Al On 11/30/2018 6:08 PM, William S Zukowski wrote: > Just remember > Reply = Poster > Reply All = Everyone > > _________________________________________________________ > Does anyone have any experience using a de-soldering station (similar > to link below) for restorations? > > I know they work well for smaller, pcb, work.?
