Fairchild Semiconductors

A 1969 dedication brochure for Fairchild Semiconductor’s new Shiprock, USA facility shows the likeness of their semiconductors to Navajo woven fabrics. The original captions read:

The Talents of the Navajo people reach beyond imagination. A Navajo woman weaves a perfectly patterned rug without seeing the whole design until the rug is completed.

And:

A Fairchild 9040 integrated circuit is… just one of many different electronic devices made by the men and women who work at Fairchild Semiconductor Shiprock Facility. The 9040 is used in communications satellites like COMSAT.
