slightly higher power gaiaa thaa do type S[722 transistors, however,

the dividing liae is somewhat obseara.

With the help of published imterial aad amnttfaeturer^s iafor-

table I would be ooasidered as the typioal transistor^, therefore,

all ealeulatioas reqairlag valaes are aade aaiag the aeasured values

of this transistor.

fsiag the aeasured aotworic eoeffieieats of the typioal tran­
