Transistors Switching (1959)

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as efficient switches with two states: on and off. The film demonstrates how these circuits can represent binary digits (0 and 1) and perform mathematical operations through combinations of basic switches like OR and AND circuits. The mechanics of transistor operation, including current flow, voltage control, and response times, are discussed, along with the concept of flip-flops as a basic building block for computers. Overall, the film illustrates the foundational role of transistor switching in modern computing.
