Thanks Gary for the notice. My father was involved with a great deal of this while working for IBM in White Plains, NY during the 50's. As kids, my brother Steven and I were always hearing about this period later on during the 60's and 70's when our own interests turned to electronics, and Fairchild's F8 processor - their answer to Intel's 8008.
Let it also be noted that Fairchild Semiconductor developed and commercially introduced the charge-coupled device (CCD) to the world after its invention at Bell Labs.
Including Google's Noyce logo for posterity:
