A Couple of Interesting Errors[edit]

Perfidia contains a reference to a "Rolodex", a 1956 invention, in the early 1940's. Also, "Transistor" is mentioned a few years before it was invented (in 1947). The transistor was not a commercially available component until the early 1950's. Until that time, electronic devices were based on vacuum tubes. For the time being I will conclude that Mr. Ellroy meant these things symbolically. Rainbow-five (talk) 04:37, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
