Weren't 12AX7 flip-flops called "flip-flops"?

I read about "flip-flops" in the 50s before my school actually acquired
its first computer. Did they not call them "bi-stable circuits"? I seem
to remember that the circuits described used vacuum tubes or, as we
called them in Britain, "valves".

I was very enthusiastic about using a computer in my research but had to
wait until 1958 when I went to Cornell. The first two computers that I
used were an IBM 650 and a Burroughs 220 and they both used tubes.

Were there 12AX7 flipflops? I remember them being variable-mu high-
quality audio amps;
the 12AU7 was for RF, and the 12AT7 was the switch.
Click to expand...
Nothing variable-mu was ever audio quality (e.g. 6BA6, only found in tuned
RF/IF amps), the reason should be obvious.

12AX7 was high quality (and sharp cutoff) for audio, AU for low gain audio,
RF and general purpose apps (AX, AU and 6AU6 were the 2N3904s of their day),
and AT for RF (not very good at audio).

Both AX and AU were used in computers (and organs). I have a few 12AX7
"Computor" tubes laying around.

Toe wedgie, butt wedgie, seem to be a similar function. I preferred the term

Not in Australia. That's our standard name for them.

If you spoke about flip-flops, only those with an electronics background
would understand.

I have a pair of thongs without the toe-wedge. (Instead, there's a
couple of velcro pieces that fold over the foot.) Everyone here calls
those thongs too. The name has become divorced from the etymology.

Those are "thongs" or "jandals" down here downunder.
"Sandals" have extra straps around the heal.
