Just got this book from ebay:

and there (surprise-surprise!) schematics of the trigger on P-N-P germanium transistors that could be used in counters or shift-registers :)

2N123 is similar to Russian МП42Б (MP42B), 1N192 is similar to Russian Д219А (D219A), HD6001 and HD2085 didn't have direct analog in USSR, but I can try to apply the idea to my current T-trigger circuit...

Are you sure you need all those diodes and parts ? A simple divider-by-two flip-flop can use less parts...

  Are you sure? yes | no

Found 3rd edition (1958) online:

http://chiclassiccomp.org/docs/content/computing/GE/ECG-315_TransistorManualThirdEdition.pdf

It has more information about transistor logic!

  Are you sure? yes | no

On one table inside it's saying
