Talk:Compactron

Article implies these were something new.
The article, as written implies that the idea of multiple electrode structures in a single envelope was somehow new in 1961. The reality is that the 'Compactron' name (possibly trade mark) was new in 1961, but the idea of multiple electrode structures was far from new. Indeed the Loewe company of Germany were producing vacuum tubes that not only contained multiple electrode structures but most of the passive components as well as far back as 1926. And these probably qualify as the first integrated circuits. 86.168.83.226 (talk) 12:54, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
