‎New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1946. 8vo. Volume XXV, Number 2, April 1946 of ""The Bell System Technical Journal"". Entire volume offered. In the original printed blue wrappers. With previous owner's name to front wrapper. Sunning to spine and margins of front wrapper. Back wrapper loose. An overall nice and clean copy. Pp. (4), 167-349.‎

‎First printing of Bell Labs Magnetron issue. The Magnetron is a high-powered vacuum tube that through a stream of electrons in a magnetic field generates microwaves. This reduced the size of radar sets which made it possible to install them in anti-submarine aircrafts and escort ships. This had a profound influence on the warfare during WWII. Today magnetrons are commonly used in microwave ovens and in various radar applications.""The studies of Fisk, H. D. Hagstrum, and P. L. Hartman [the present paper] increased the understanding of the role that the various possible modes of oscillation played in magnetron operation and the effect of the wire straps - which later evolved into two pair of concentric copper rings.""

‎Separate reprint of 5 articles published a month before in ""The Bell System Technical Journal. Four of the present articles on the early development of television were exceedingly influential, among these the paper by Frank Gray, who conducted groundbreaking research on the development of television, and Edward Nelson's important ""Radio transmission for television"". All four articles listed in ""Early Television, A Bibliographic Guide to 1940"". ""The chief problems presented in the accomplishment of television are discussed. These are: the resolution of the scene into a series of electrical signals of adequate intensity for transmission" the provision of a transmission channel capable of transmitting a wide band of frequencies without distortion means for utilizing the transmitted signals to re-create the image in a form suitable for viewing by one or more observers" arrangement for the accurate synchronization of the apparatus at the two ends of the transmission channel.""
