Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article carries no named author or fixed editorial board behind any version of the page, hence the lower tier, though it is useful here for Walter Brattain's own December 1947 laboratory notebook entry and the dated account of germanium's dominance into the late 1950s. Sources
