On a related thought, Philco was doing a lot of research in computers in the mid 50's. They even owned their own semi-conductor plant. I have a few early Philco radios that used their own transistors. The first all-transistor car radio was made by Philco for the 1957 Chrysler 300 cars.
The first GE AM-FM portable radio used some Philco Transistors. They were a little larger and had a neat appearance.
