History of chip producers (1 Viewer)

[Pierna]

Hi,
can anyone suggest a good source of information on history of chip producers / chip development / chip types?
On the internet and on PCF I could only find lots of small bits of history to be read and connected to each other but I would really like to start from a wider picture then specialising on the details rather than the opposite way round.

Maybe there's a book out there or a good website or a nice documentary.
Just guessing, but I can't find what I need

Some help would really change my life!

The Robert Eisenstadt site is the pinnacle of chip history.

When you're ready for chip specific information here's a small piece on TR King.

A quick check of Amazon suggests that somebody needs to write this book.

I wrote a pretty detailed chip history timeline post here on PCF a year or two ago, compiling info from close to a dozen sources.

No clue where it is, or where/how to easily find it. It was a response post buried in a thread, the topic of which I cannot remember.

Found the post referenced above; was easier than I thought. I just searched for "billiard" with me as author, and voilà:

The time line only deals with US clay chip manufacturers, but there is also additional material in the thread about other chip types.

Thanks for the link. I've never seen that site. Is it new?

Precious resources and info I didn't know.
I will start digging into this topic.

Thank you all
