7. This whole matter was discussed in conference with P. J. W. Debye. It was agreed that the concept was correct and that the experiment had been a test of Shockley's suggestion. (Recollection of W. H. Brattain.)

Bardeen had spent much time in the laboratory watching the experiments as they were made, and often suggesting them and participating in them. This arrangement facilitated interpretation and discussion and enabled the ideas of both to be tried out with a minimum of delay.)
