In 1954, Texas Instruments designed and manufactured the first transistor radio. The Regency TR-1 used germanium transistors, as silicon transistors were much more expensive at the time. This was an effort by Haggerty to increase market demand for transistors.
In May 1954, Texas Instruments (TI), previously a producer of instrumentation for the oil industry [2] and locating devices for the US Navy, wanted an established radio manufacturer to develop and market a radio using TI's transistors. No major radio maker, including RCA, Philco, and Emerson, was interested. Previous vacuum tube-based pocket ...
Texas Instruments had demonstrated all-transistor AM (amplitude modulation) radios as early as May 25, 1954, [6] [7] but their performance was well below that of equivalent vacuum tube models. A workable all-transistor radio was demonstrated in August 1953 at the Düsseldorf Radio Fair by the German firm Intermetall. [8]
Texas Instruments had demonstrated all-transistor AM radios as early as 1952, but their performance was well below that of equivalent vacuum tube models. A workable all-transistor radio was demonstrated in August 1953 at the Düsseldorf Radio Fair by the German firm Intermetall. It was built with four of Intermetall's hand-made transistors ...

The original Speak & Spell was the first of a three-part talking educational toy series that also included Speak & Read and Speak & Math.This series was a subset of TI's Learning Center product group and the Speak & Spell was released simultaneously with the Spelling B (a non-speech product designed to help children learn to spell), and the First Watch (designed to teach children to read ...
