William Shockley demonstrates a solid state circuit which is switching one million watts in thirty nanoseconds

'Dr. William Shockley, Nobel Prize winner and Director of Shockley Transistor unit of Clevite Transistor, demonstrates a solid state circuit which is switching one million watts in thirty nanoseconds.
