Newguy/Bill:<p>On another post you had inquired to older types of devices and I thought all were covered but
I see the three URL’s I submitted left out this device, but the others were covered if you scrolled
thru the offerings on those sites.To cover the SBS go to :

Put this data with the data provided by Sir Ron and that shud help.
We are referring to the SILICON bilateral switch and its utilization, and not the
more common……at least nowadays……bilateral switch utilizing CMOS technology and
infinitely simpler in construction and finding its use in data switching, even on
up into the megglinghertz speeds.
My first dealings with the device was back in the early sixties On the state of the art Seeburg jukebox.
You pushed the buttons to select a song and data was entered into a ferrite bead memory matrix
the unit then searched for data as the carriage was moving to look for that record played. When the two
experienced coincidence, the SCS fired and braked the carriage and then the play mechanism was
initiated. Prior technology utilized a gas thyratron (2050) to do this….which was a big vacuum tube..
kluge, you might say a tube counterpart to a SCR.
