A kit of parts to build a Resistor-Transistor Logic (RTL) NOR gate.
Logic gates can be constructed using many different technologies, with one of the most famous ones being called CMOS, which stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. However, while this technology is employed in almost all electronic circuits, it was not always the popular choice.
Back in the 80s, TTL (Transistor-Transistor logic) was the popular choice for logic components, but again, this too was not the only option available for logic gates. During the days of the Apollo moon missions there existed a logic family called RTL, which stands for Resistor-Transistor Logic and, as the name suggests, logic gates built using this method relied on resistors and transistors to enable their logic functions.
