"WILSON, C.T.R. - THE MOST ORIGINAL AND WONDERFUL INSTRUMENT IN SCIENTIFIC HISTORY - WILSON'S CLOUD CHAMBER.
Reference : 45816
(1913)
Über die Expansionsapparat zur Sichtsbarmachung der Bahnen ionisierender Teilchen in Gasen, und über einige mittels dieses Apparats gewonnene Ergebnisse. Mit 23 Figuren im Text und auf 5 Tafeln. (Eingegangen 6. Oktober 1912). (On an Expansion Apparatu...
Leipzig, S. Hirzel, 1913. 8vo. Orig. printed wrappers, no backstrip. Wrappers loose. In ""Jahrbuch der Radioaktivität und Elektronik"", 10. bd., Heft 1. Pp. 1-138 (entire issue offered). Wilson's paper: pp. 34-54, textillustrations, showing apparatus and 5 photographic plates, showing ionizing by Alpha-, Beta- and Röntgen- radiation).
Together with the English version - published 1912 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society - this is Wilson's main paper relating ""that the track of an ionizing particle might be made visible and photographed by condensing water of the ions which is liberated"". The first trails were obtained in 1911 where he submitted a short note of this to the Proceedings. In the offered paper he published the first tracks made by the ionizing particles of alpha, beta and Röntgen-rays. This, Wilson Cloud-Chamber, became an extremely valuable instrument of fundamental research, the discovery of the positron in 1932 and the kaon in 1963 were made by using cloud chambers as detectors.""But the whole course of the particle appears infinitely more clearly by the method invented by C.T.R. Wilson in 1911 and named after him. The radiation is allowed to enter an expansion-chamber, containing a gas saturated with water vapour. A sudden expansion of the chamber cools the gas, and cloud-drops are then formed instantly around the ions produced along the tracks of the particles. By suitable illumination these tracks can be made to stand out clearly as if they had been described by luminous projectiles. The ""Altmeister"" of modern nuclear physics, Lord Rutherford, once called the Wilson chamber ""the most original and wonderful instrument in scientific history"".""Thomson Rees Wilson (1869-1959), a Scottish physicist, is credited with inventing the cloud chamber. Inspired by sightings of the Brocken spectre while working on the summit of Ben Nevis in 1894, he began to develop expansion chambers for studying cloud formation and optical phenomena in moist air. Very rapidly he discovered that ions could act as centers for water droplet formation in such chambers. He pursued the application of this discovery and perfected the first cloud chamber in 1911. In Wilson's original chamber the air inside the sealed device was saturated with water vapor, then a diaphragm is used to expand the air inside the chamber (adiabatic expansion). This cools the air and water vapor starts to condense. When an ionizing particle passes through the chamber, water vapor condenses on the resulting ions and the trail of the particle is visible in the vapor cloud. Wilson, along with Arthur Compton, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927 for his work on the cloud chamber. (Wikipedia).

Investigations on X-Rays and Beta-Rays by the Cloud Method.. Part I. - X-Rays. Part II. - Beta-Rays. (2 Papers).
London, Harrison and Sons, 1923. Royal8vo. Contemp. full cloth, gilt lettering to spine. A small stamp to verso of titlepage and on foot of a few leaves.. In: ""Proceedings of the Royal Society"", Series A, Vol. 104. VI,(6),676,XXXII pp., textillustr. and plates. (Entire volume offered). Wilson's papers: pp. (1-) 24 and 12 plates + pp. 192-212 and 9 plates.
First printing of the paper in which Wilson had brought his Cloud Chamber to perfection and showed the photographic tracks of the particles. The Cloud Chamber was the first detector of radioacticity and nuclear transmutations and it played an importent role in experimental particle physics e.g. the discovery of the positron. Wilson received the Nobel prize - together with Arthur Compton - in physics in 1927 for his work on the Cloud Chamber.""The 21 cloud chamber pictures of X-rays and beta-rays on coated stock printed recto only were the culmination of many years research by Wilson and at last showed the full potential of this method as a tool for particle physicists. Early in 1911 (Wilson) was the first person to see and photograph the tracks of individual alpha-particles and electrons. The event aroused great interest as the paths of the alpha-particle were just as W.H. Bragg had drawn them in publication some years earlier. But it was not until 1923 (the paperoffered) that the clous chamber was brought to perfection and led to his two, beautifully illustrated classic papers on the track of electron.""

First printing of Wilson's second importent paper describing his further experiments with his ""Cloud Chamber"".""To the period 1895-1912 belongs the development of an instrument which to my mind is the most original and wonderful in scientific history.I refer to the cloud or expansion chamber of C.T.R. Wilson...It was a wonderful advance to be able to se, so to speak, the details of the adventures of these particles in their flight through the gas....""(Lord Rutherford).""C.T.R. Wilson had been developing his cloud-chamber, which was to provide the most powerfull of all methods of investigation in atomic physics. In moist air, if a certain degree of supersaturation is exceeded this can be secured by a sudden expansion of the air) condensation takes place on dust-nuclei, when any are present: if by preliminary operations condensation is made to take place on the dust-nuclei, and the resulting droplets are allowed to settle, the air in the chamber is thereby freed from dust. If now X-rays or radiation from a radioactive substance are passed into the chamber, and if the degree of supersaturation is sufficient, condensation again takes place: this is due to the production of ions by the radiation. Thus the tracks of ionising radiations can be made visible by the sudden expansion of a moist gas, each ion becoming the centre of a visible globule of water. Wilson showed that the ions produced by uranium radiation were identical with those produced by X-rays."" (Whittaker in ""A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity."" II, p. 4).

First printing of this groundbreaking paper in which Wilson describes the invention which made it possible to view the track of a single atomic projectile or electron. The invenvention of the ""Dust-Chamber"" made it possible for J.J. Thomson in 1897 to calculate the charge of the electron, and thereby finding its mass, since the ratio between the two was known. In most cases it was found that the track of the particle is a straight, or nearly straight line.""C.T.R. Wilson had been developing his cloud-chamber, which was to provide the most powerfull of all methods of investigation in atomic physics. In moist air, if a certain degree of supersaturation is exceeded this can be secured by a sudden expansion of the air) condensation takes place on dust-nuclei, when any are present: if by preliminary operations condensation is made to take place on the dust-nuclei, and the resulting droplets are allowed to settle, the air in the chamber is thereby freed from dust.

Relation des Îles Pelew, situées dans la partie occidentale de l'Océan Pacifique ; composée sur les journaux et les communications du Capitaine Henri Wilson, et de quelques-uns de ses officiers, qui en Août Mil Sept Cent Quatre-Vingt-Trois, y ont fait naufrage sur l'Antelope, Paquebot de la Compagnie des Indes Orientales.
Paris, Maradan, 1793. 1788 2 vol. in-8° (195 x 131 mm) de : I. [2] ff., 280 pp., [1] f.bl. ; II. [2] ff., 272 pp., [2] ff. bl.; 1 portrait frontispice, 1 carte dépliante, 16 planches gravées. Plein maroquin rouge d'époque, dos lisse orné, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin fauve, filet et frises encadrant des plats, roulette dorée sur les coupes, tranches dorées.
Seconde édition française, parue la même année que l'originale anglaise (EO: 1788). En 1783, le capitaine de vaisseau Henry Wilson (décédé en 1810) qui était au service de la compagnie des Indes fait naufrage près de la petite île, appelée Ouroulong, près des Pelew. Ce récit est la relation du séjour prolongé de ce groupe danglais sur les îles Pelew de Mindanao. Ce contact avec les insulaires donne lieu à des descriptions de leur comportement, de leurs murs, de leur mode de vie qui sont du plus haut intérêt. Aba-Thoulé, chef du pays, reçut Wilson avec beaucoup d'humanité, lui donna un petit bâtiment pour rentrer dans sa patrie et lui confia même son fils, Li-Bon pour l'éduquer et introduire dans les moeurs et les arts de l'Europe. Le jeune homme mourut de la petite vérole à la fin de 1784. Un vocabulaire de la langue Pelew occupe les pages 251 à 267. Boucher de la Richarderie est assez sceptique quant au portrait idyllique de ces îles brossé alors par lauteur : "L'existence de ces îles, où Wilson et son équipage ont trouvé un peuple dont les nations les plus civilisées de l'Europe pourraient envier les vertus morales, a paru douteuse à quelques personnes et surtout en France, malgré tous les droits que le rédacteur paraît avoir à la confiance à ses lecteurs. Mais ce doute pourrait bien ne tenir qu'à l'espèce de fatalité qui, depuis la publication en Angleterre du Voyage original, jusqu'à sa traduction en français, semble avoir toujours dérobé l'approche et la connaissance de ces îles aux navigateurs." L'ouvrage est illustré de dix-sept planches : frontispice représentant le capitaine Wilson d'après Russel et gravé par Mme Massard, des cartes, portraits, vues... Bel exemplaire. Cox III, 302-303 - Chadenat 3258: "Relation très recherchée" - Boucher de la Richarderie VI, 552. 2 vol. 8vo. 1 frontipiece portrait, 16 engraved plates. First French edition, published the same year than the London OE, of this classical relation of the shipwreck of Henri Wilson and his crew on Ouroulong, little island nearby the Pelew Islands. They stayed a long time there, long enough to bring back very precious ethnographical informations, and a description of an "idyllic" society, a people "from whom the most civilized European nations should envy their virtue." (Boucher de la Richarderie). Fine copy.
