It seemsthat,manufacturers are UeginningiJ i;i;'; new interest in this outlet for their products. - In the field of transistorsa new drift type hasbeen made available, the OCl69. This unit has the samepara-eters as the OCl70 bui ry]19.fo1 only l8/0d. which makes if far less of a luxury articf.. As rrs cnaracterutlcs are ertremely good it may be used in a great many a_pplicationsthat might suip-risesomeone unfamiliar iii'h them. Many of ,thecircuits in thij book make use of the OCl69 and a chapter o! the transistor itself is also included for those of )ou who hke to know exactlyrvhat sort of animal you are deating with. some of it is rather technical but a rittle uri"fttr..w o*i no one any harm. ., I have.bee.nreceiving a great many letters recentlyconcernine rne clrcurtsthat have appearedin the transistorcircuits manualsl-ind Many of them contain some query about one of tire clriuits llre.se.I3p .only.to-o pleased to-aniwer althoughsometimes I g;; ; Iittle behindwith them. However,I shouldliie to hearfrom irori of you concerningthe type of equipmentyori are most ilile;i;a;; so perhapsyou could sendme a postcard. From the letters I have so jt lTj*:d far appears thaf receivers are the ,"o.i-;;p;ia; proJects(to borrow an excellent Americanism) and thi imall-f-[i, pocket sets^wjth.loudspeakerare the -ort poprilu. .f att. nas oeenreflected ln thls tssueand new setsare beingdesigned and tested at the moment. However, there may be othei ttp6 ;a;;i; which have not yet appearedbul which w6uld be welio^med. Transistors continue to replace valves in their traditional applicationsand the next take oler bid is likely to take placei,r the high fidelity field. power transistors are now available with performanceswhich are in no.way inferior to those ;a;;;".;bG valvesand thesemake it possibre-todesign quaiity "-piriii,i, *rtrt outpujs in_theregion of 20 watts. As a stirt iri this fieldihis manuil contains the circuit for a pre-amqiifier of extre;"t high F;i;;- ance and equipmentfor .usewiih this will appeir iri the future manuals-- whilst many still tend to think of th'e'transistorin terms ot portableusage it, has, in fact, many propertieswhich make it prercrabre to the valve in I?ICJI typesof domestiqequipment. ln tape recorders and other Hi-Fi equipment, where ttre 6rimination of mainshum is.of paramountimportince, tireii largescale adoption may not be far in the future.
