Blaheslee , Associated Press Science Editor , '; NEW YORK, June 80 fOP)- A new kind. of radio set. whose music begins instantly when the set it turned on, was shown today .at the BeU Telephone laboratories. t -This set has no vacuums, tubes. Nothing lights, nothing even glows, and nothing gets warm.

Although this cylinder acts Ue a radio tube, there is no Vacuum, - rio grid, no plated no glass .to keep the air away.

The metal amplifies the'eur-pe-qt that one wire carries to it, 'end the other wire carries away the amplified current., jj The power used today was less than that of an ordinary - flash light battery. The new tube is called a transitor. It -is ' not on the market. . ' 3 '' . The inventors are Drs. John Bafdeen; and Walter f. Brattain, working1 under ' direction of Dr. William ! Shockley.
