General Notes

Note

73, Dec 1966, p. 106. – "Planar epitaxial" integrated circuits (the regular rectangular type) for reliability. No tubes—No separate transistors. – Precision feather-touch key built-in. – Fully digital—Dot-dash ratio always perfect. – No polarity problems—Floating contacts switch 1-amp.
