A thread about neat 555 facts and stories. Doing some research in the 555 timer. Did you know that the 555 timer was originally released in both a standard DIP-8 package along with a metal can package? Does anyone have one of these? 🧵🪡

Not in a million years would I have been able to guess what was in this package when he told me something was headed my way.

According to a biography of Charles Bright by his brother and his son, Whitehouse was not a founding member of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, but every other account I find says he was. He says it was just Bright, Cyrus W Field, and J. W. Brett. Hmm... #TransAtlanticCable
