Settled
| Abstract | Physical Review's Letters to the Editor printed no abstracts. This letter opens straight into 'In connection with the development of the semi-conductor triode discussed in the preceding letter', and there is no abstract block on the page to transcribe. Same reason the companion record bardeen1948transistor carries an empty abstract; that one was settled at the 1.0 migration without a stated reason, and this is the reason. |

| Distinct from | bardeen1948transistor The two 1948 letters, published together and usually cited together. Bardeen and Brattain announce the device in *The Transistor, A Semi-Conductor Triode* at pages 230--231; Brattain and Bardeen -- the authors reversed -- explain the physics in this one at 231--232, opening 'In connection with the development of the semi-conductor triode discussed in the preceding letter'. They share leaves: one document in the corpus, claimed by both records, because Physical Review's Letters to the Editor pack several letters to a page and these two run continuously across the same two. |
