  Not to mention
relays->tubes->transistors->RTL->... 
Would Transistors enter in to the picture as RTL? 

RTL Resistor Transistor Logic.  Think very simple, basic gate is the NOR,
power hungry and SLOW.  The basic two input NOR is two transistors
and three resistors.

I have a fair collection of RTL (914, 900, 923, MC7xx) from the '67ish time
frame
and have built DMMs and the like using them.
