Prior to the advent of large-scale digital computers, switching theory was concerned primarily with the theory of relay-contact networks. Since that time the invention of many new switches, including rectifiers, transistors, and magnetic cores, and the burgeoning growth in both variety and number of applications have considerably broadened its scope (p. v). Participants in the symposium included Arthur W. Burks ( The logic of fixed and growing automata ), Antonin Svoboda ( Some applications of contact grids ), Jan A. Rajchman ( Principles of transfluxor and core circuits ) and Nobel Laureate John H. Van Vleck, who delivered the opening remarks. Origins of Cyberspace 421.
