Ok, abusing talk page slightly...[edit]

But can someone explain to me why I hadn't heard of this guy before he died? It seems a bit surprising given what he had accomplished. JoshuaZ (talk) 02:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Morgan Sparks was one of a large number of researchers at Bell Labs who contributed to the early work on the transistor. The article needs further editing to clarify his particular contribution, and to make clear that he did not single-handedly develop the diffused junction transistor. The use of the term "microwatt" to describe the diffused-junction transistor is not helpful. Taylour (talk) 15:25, 10 May 2008 (UTC)taylour[reply]
