But the film as a whole has no shape, makes only a cursory attempt to describe the vast revolution that lies before its lens...
Laboratories. In a corner of Leo's plastics factory in Boston, Mass., David developed a commercially produceable gold-bonded diode can electronic switching device for converting alternating current into direct current) that was better than anything on the market. But even after it had a product, Transitron had to wait a year before it could sell any. During that year, Leo poured nearly $400,000 into the new firm, which lost...
Transitron has pioneered in the development of low-noise transistors for use in computers and for military applications. It was the first company to manufacture silicon rectifiers commercially, is now one of the biggest producers of devices used to deliver large amounts of direct current in most electronic circuits. Currently, Transitron is pioneering in the development of thermoelectric materials, which can produce electricity when heated...
Although he did not name a Presidential favorite, David Riesman '34, Henry Ford II Professor of Social Sciences, warned against the contemporary political complacency. "I feel along with many people that the current American assumption that there can be 'politics as usual' in the year of the atom bomb does not make too much sense. We are perhaps too sure that 1960 will come along without a contaminated atmosphere or even a worse explosion and that we can play guessing games without serious risk to life on this planet...
Preparation of the table just described, which shows input-output relations in current money values is only the first step of Leonteif's analysis. The second step is to "invert the matrix," producing a table of coefficients that shows the amounts of every other product required to bring into existance a dollar's worth of any given product...
