""Beginning in 1824 Poncelet had essentially shifted his attention from geometry to applied mechanics. Although he had previously studied certain machines and ways of improving them, it was during the summer of 1824 that he achieved his first important innovation: the design and realization of an undershot waterwheel with curved paddles, which possessed a much increased efficiency. The paper he wrote on this subject gained him a prize in mechanics from the Académie des Sciences in 1825. After new trials conducted on full-scale models, he presented a revised version of his study in 1827. Yet, most of his activity at this period was devoted to elaborating and continually updating the course in mechanics applied to machines that he gave from 1825 to 1834."" (DSB).

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Poncelet's work is in two radically different areas corresponding to different stages in his career : analytical geometry and applied mechanics. At the Polytechnique he studied under Monge, Lacroix, Poinsot, Ampère, and Hachette, and was admitted to the corps of military engineers in 1810. In 1812 he graduated from the Ecole d'Application de l'Artillerie et du Génie at Metz. At Arago's insistence, Poncelet became professor of mechanics applied to machines at the same school, a change which fired his interest in applied mechanics. In 1834 new duties as scientific rapporteur for the Committee of Fortifications, as editor of the Memorial de l'officier du génie and election to the mechanics section of the Académie des Sciences led him to leave his native Metz for Paris. There he taught from 1848 to 1850 as a member of the faculty of the Ecole Polytechnique. The Expérience, a continuation of those undertaken by Bossut and Du Buat at Mézières, were conducted from November of 1827 through 1828". (Bibliotheca Mechanica p. 264)**4273/ARM3

Firstprinting of an interesting paper in the history of electricity in which Pouillet confirmed Ohm's Law. In fact, some authors have wrongly attributed the law itself to Pouillet. It is true, however, that he helped considerably to make known first in England and in France.

First printing of this paper in which Poulsen describes his invention of the ""TELEGRAPHON"", THE FIRST magnetic sound recorder. The Telegraphone was shown, but not operated at the Paris Exposition in 1900 and obtained a Grand Prix.""The magnetic recording was demonstrated in principle as early as 1898 by Valdemar Poulsen in his telegraphone. Magnetic wire recording, and its successor, magnetic tape recording, involve the use of a magnetizable medium which moves past a recording head. An electrical signal, which is analogous to the sound that is to be recorded, is fed to the recording head, inducing a pattern of magnetization similar to the signal. A playback head (which may be the same as the recording head) can then pick up the changes in the magnetic field from the tape and convert them into an electrical signal.""(Wikepedia).The issue contains further Max Planck's paper ""Kritik zweier Sätze des Hrn.

First publication of the Pound-Rebka experiment which is regarded as being the last of the classical test of general relativity proposed by Albert Einstein to be verified. It is a test of the general relativity prediction that clocks should run at different rates at different places in a gravitational field and is considered to be the experiment that ushered in an era of precision test of general relativity. Today the so called gravitational redshift is essential for understanding the cosmos and operating the Global Positioning System (GPS).""Before he worked out the general theory of relativity, Einstein had already deduced that gravity must affect a light wave's frequency and wavelength. Light moving upwards from Earth's surface, for example, shifts to longer wavelength and lower frequency, as gravity saps it of some energy. But the effect is tiny in earth's modest gravity. In 1959 Robert Pound and Glen Rebka of Harvard University finally succeed in testing this crucial prediction, and they reported their results in [The present paper]."" (Physical Review Focus, 12 July 2005). Although the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not designed as a test of physics, it must account for the gravitational redshift in its timing system. When the first satellite was launched, some engineers neglected to predict that a noticeable gravitational time discrepancy would occur. So the first satellite was launched without the clock adjustment that was later built into satellites. It had a predicted time difference of 38 microseconds per day which, if not accounted for, could lead to hours of discrepancy.
