This circuit is the vital heart of all digital electronics, computers, pulse-code telephony and so on.
A multivibrator a.k.a. flip-flop, is a device which can settle in one of two stable states. They come in various flavours, single-shot or mono-stable, bi-stable. They are the basis of counting and time-code and so on.

A multivibrator produces square or rectangular waveforms.
Industrial engineering helps engineers come up with designs for the various industrial applications.
You can create an astable multivibrator with PNP, NPN, FETs, or even with NOR gates, NAND gates, or NOT gates. In fact the escapement movement in a mechanical watch is a species of astable multivibrator.
