Steven the device called a 555 is not a transistor it's an IC network used very heavily in circuits 30 or 40 years ago. If my memory serves me right it has eight legs, you added capacitance and resistance network the output would be sign wave are sawtooth, based upon your capacitance and resistance you chose to use. In many ways you might call it an oscillator it works similarly. it is usually described as a timing integrated circuit.
