European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - January 3, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse Fans buying up replicas of old baseball shirts by Mike Owen associated Pressw Here others saw useless old heavy Wool flannel Peter Capolino found a Market that stirred Long lost emotions of baseball tans postal pc baseball jerseys Capoldo lapped More than a Maikel. He opened a window to the fans past one look at Tho replica 1951 new York giants shirt with a no. 24 on the Back and wife Mays is a Rookie again. The no b on the bar of the Shir with a 1946 is Louis cardinals design with two toys perched on a Black Bat not Tho cd Irene Gold Ono across the front evokes Stan Mitola terrorizing Pinchas in an map season. There s something Here thai i did not Inland to have this psychological grip on my customers Tho 42-year-old sporting goods dealer in Philadelphia said. Bui i be noticed d. I could increase the Price in tint of them and they d bag for the shirt the baggy Shir 8 3le priced from $100 to $175, governed by How much work they require. Topolino claims to have sold nearly 1.000 at the shirts and has Hia hands full meeting i to demand since spoils illustrated Magazine published a cult Page Story Aboul him this summer. He s a so begun Selling replica warm up jackets. Motioning to lha dozen or so varieties he had on display recently he noted Tho effect of Ina publicity on his downtown store Mitch do and Ness sporting goods. Manufacturing replica of jerseys once worn by baseball handouts such at Duke 3nlder Tett Ami Willie May Fin meant new business and big Money tar a sporting Gatt dealer. Sports Fuos rated wiped to out Capoldo said not complaining. A Nolod orders irom Canada Australia England Sweden and South Africa not of mention xhosa from around lha United states. Normally i have Aboul 67 different he has just Aboul run out Olla original flannel he found 2vi years ago while visiting a manufacturer Vito had no use for tha stuff at Lei baseball teams at All Levels began to demand lighter cooler fabrics. Nostalgic baseball hats were Selling Well so he decided to 1ry out jerseys six replicas each of the 1960 Pittsburgh rates with Bill Mazeroski a no. 9, lha 1949 is. Louis Browns with Roy Sievers no. 15, and Mays 1951 giants Jersey they sold Oul in Stanlly he said from Thosa. I Well on to Othef players Frank Palma a mom Slown says he has bought More than a dozen of Capolino s replicas. I m Slan Musial on tuesday Duko Snider on wednesday and Willie Mays on thursday said Palma who gets the former stars to autograph the reproductions. I be had Stan Musial and Ted Williams sign uniforms Lor me and wonder where i got the uniforms from. It s that Capolino s Mattel includes collectors who Don t Dara Wear an authentic Jersey Wilh $3,000 to 112,000, bul can Wear a duplicate fans who recall in stir childhood trips to the Ballpark and women looking Lor a sure fire Way to Meel Guys. I be sold a Ion of the Shirls to Capoldo said. The women who Wear these Shirls gel constant attention irom men duplicating the old Shirls was no easy task.

As a result to can sell o replica of a 957 Milwaukee braves Jersey vividly trimmed in Blue and Rod and bearing the Truit o months of searching a laughing Warrior Patch embroidered in Gold red and Orange on Ono sleeve. Such detail is Capolino s Pride. I do not believe i Wilt Ever have any Hind of exclusivity with chisel All. My exclusivity is my ability to be exl emely accurate he snid.

He finally found one on the 1946 Raad Jersey so he Sells thai replica with Brooklyn in Blue Felt just like the original. His meticulous Eye Aiso catches such subtleties As the Only Basic difference besides to material in a dodgers Home Jersey from 1955 and one in 1987 two cities and three decades Laler the red number on the front of the White shirt is 11nch smaller. There s 10 percent out there who Are Eti lists who will recognize even the style of the to said. I figure in i Appeal to the elitists All the others will fall Inlo British and French researchers were just a step behind the Bell labs learn. Tha .

Walter Brattain who died in october Al nge 85, retired irom Bell lbs in 1967 and Ihen taught Al his Alma mater in Washington state the physicists work focused on a class of elements semiconductors Hal seemed useless to most people. They were Neilam Sod insulators like Glass nor Good conductors Liko Copper. A transistor is simply a device made from a semiconductor usually Silicon Hal has three electrical contacts and can of Lily or switch electrical signals. Inventing the transistor required jumping a series of intellectual hurdles concerning the Way electrical current moves through semiconducting materials. Ii also look some workshop science and manual labor. Tho it it that was used 1o carry electrical current in some Early experiments was extracted from old capacitors Wilh a Vico a Hammer and a Natl. Tho inv colors called their device the per Pislor in joking recognition of the persistence it demanded. Transistor was coins cd by Bell labs John Pierce to refer to Tho seeming Iran Veronce of be clerical resistance from one Contact to another the key to the transistor is the use of one elec Ricat con act to control Tho flow of current Between iwo others either to amplify the flow or to Lurn it on and of by allowing current the transistor gave the impression of transferring resistance which is tha opposition of the Low of electrical current. Brattain and Bardeen Learned up in december 1947 to create the Point Contact transistor in which current passed Between two wires placed close together on a thin slab of a greyish semiconducting Metal called germanium tha pair s Point Contact Iran Pislor is lha one that was demonstrated to executives at Bdl labs two Days before Christmas 1947.
