Transistors: Thomson 36T1 (2 x), 37T1, 941T1 (2 x), 991T1, 992T1. These transistors were made by Thomson using a General Electric licence. They are germanium PNP transistors, type 2N43, 2N44 and 2N45. In 1953 these transistors were introduced in the USA, so they are examples of very early transistor technology.
