Is the title of an ad running in Electronics Weekly’s edition of September 24 1969.

'Boeing Didn’t Invent The Aeroplane'

Is how one ad starts off in Electronics Weekly’s edition of September 24 1969.

‘To the stage where quantity manufacture without loss of quality is possible. Transitron are doing this with discrete components and ICs’, runs the ad.

The ad finishes in ringing tones, and big bold type:

'Development buys success’
