European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 4, 1959, Darmstadt, Hesse Saturday july 4, 1959 the stars and stripes transistors seen key to dream cars by Jack Vandenberg Detroit up development of a reasonably priced transistor May Lead to an a v a 1 a n c h e of electrically operated features on automobiles. Many Auto Industry officials fee the Industry s Best Chance for future Prosperity lies with popular izing unusual convenient and new emphasize that they mean worthwhile features not must be items that make motoring easier safer and More enjoyable. Most of these items could be available on cars now except that they Cost too much for the average Motorist and an automobile s present ignition and electrical sys tem is already taxed to its limit. Almost unanimously these officials feel the solution to the problem lies ultimately in develop ment of a rugged Low Cost transistor. Seen on firebird Many of the possible gadgets of the future can already be seen on experimental cars such As Gen eral motor s firebird electronic devices on the firebird Iii include a system of placing All controls of a car on one Little stick. This stick control snot Only steering but also acceleration braking and other electronic devices on the firebird Iii permit the drive to put the car on an automatic Pilot that steers and controls the Speed of the car automatically. An electronic Horn and other electronic warning devices on the firebird Iii add to the of these devices Are possible because of , in effect Are highly efficient switches that control Large volume of electricity with a Small amount of electricity. They do the same jobs tubes do in Ordinary tubes could not be used in most cases because they Are Loo Bulky need time to warm up can be ruined by weather require Amore complicated circuit and arc too fragile. Transistors overcome ail of these shortcomings but they have Handicap of their own which has hindered even the most important automotive developments at some ii stage of their this difference is be ing decreased through improve ments in transistors. Mass production would do a great Deal to re transistor costs.
