Derivied work of original. No evidence it's pre 1964. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:36, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Discussion: The first Volume has no copywrite, but Volume 2 of the books was copywrited by Raytheon in 1957. Also discussion of these books (mainly volume 1) is discussed by Norman Krim, father of the CK722. He mentions the time period these books are produced and the source of their material. Jack Ward curator of the semiconductor museum discusses these books Semiconductor Museum. Engradio
Further discussion: By 1964 the CK722 transistor was almost 10 years old, why would Raytheon publish two books one saying "new circuits" with an old and by then outdated transistor? The purpose of the photo was it provide the reader a visual image of Raytheon's attempt to generate interest in a new product for hobbyist and experimenters during the early years of transistors. For Norm Krim's own comments to date the books go to the Wikipedia article on Norm Krim and link to Jack Ward's interview of Norm Krim. Engradio.
