"THE MAGNETRON ISSUE - FISK, J. B. (+) H. D. HAGSTRUM (+) P. L. HARTMAN.
Reference : 43511
(1946)
The Magnetron as a Generator of Centimeter Waves. Developments at the Bell Telephone Laboratories, 1940-1945. - [THE MAGNETRON ISSUE]
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."" (Millman, S. A History of Engineering & Science in the Bell System, 1984, p. 173).

Texte grec, traduction et commentaires en latin. Etat très satisfaisant (accroc sans manque en page de titre, bon exemplaire par ailleurs). Vivant au temps d'Héraclius, Théophylacte Simocatta est peut-être le dernier historien de l'antiquité tardive.
"THE VOLTAIC PILE INVESTIGATED. - FOUNDATION OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY.
Reference : 45107
(1801)
Collection of 10 papers relatiing to Volta's construction of the Voltaic Pile and its chemical and physical effects.
Halle, Rengerschen Buchhandlung, 1801. Contemp. hcalf., Raised bands, gilt spine. Slightly rubbed. ""Annalen der Physik. Herausgegeben von Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert"", Bd. 8. (8),504 pp. a. 6 folded engraved plates, showing various set ups of the pile (Böchmann, Davy, Arnim etc.). Small stamps on verso of titlepage. Some leaves with a faint dampstain in righ margins, but clean and fine.
In 1800 Volta published his famous paper ""On the Electricity excited by the mere Contact of Conducting Substances of different Kinds"" in the Philosophical Transactions. In the paper he described his famous ""Pile"", the first primary battery and the real foundation of electrochemistry. The pile completely revolutionized the theory and practice of electricity and immediately inspired a series of new electrolytic experiments, many of which is recorded here in the volume offerd.The volume contains a series of importent experiments with the pile:HUMPHREY DAVY ""Bemerkungen und Versuche über Oxydirung des Zinks...Ursach der Wirksamheit galvanischer Batterieen..."" (first German edition of three papers from Nicholson's Journal). Pp. 1-21. And ""Beobachtungen über die Gaserzeugung in den einzelnen Ketten galvanischer Batterien"", pp. 300-315 (also from Nicholson's Journal).P.L. SIMON ""Beschreibung eienr neuen galvanisch-chemischen Vorrichtung und ...merkwürd. Versuche..."", pp. 22-36.G.R. TREVIRANUS ""Ueber den Euinfluss ...Galvanismus auf die thierische Reichbarkeit."", pp. 44-68.C.W. BÖCKMANN ""Versuche und beobachtungen über die Wirkungen der galvanischen Electricität durch Volta's Säule., pp. 137-162. He here revised Volta's use of the terminal plates in the pile and showing the true form of the pile.L.A. von ARNIM ""Bemerkungen über Volta's Säule"", pp. 163-196, 257-284.ERMAN ""ueber die electroskopischen Phánomene der Voltaischen Säule"", pp. 197-215.W. GRUNER ""Einige merkwürdige Versuche mit Volta's Säule."", pp. 216-227.C.H. PFAFF ""Bemerkungen über dieselben Versuche"", pp. 228-232.EINHOF ""Versuche über die Wirksamkeit verschiedener Metalle mit Säuren in ihrer Verbindung zu Voltaischen Säule"", pp. 316-322.J.W. RITTER ""Versuche und Bemerkungen über den Galvanismus der Voltaischen Batterie. Dritter Brief"", pp. 385-473. He here proves that the poles of the pile were electrified.

Thomas' paper: pp. 1-22. Internally clean and fine.
First printing - in full - of Thomas' paper on electron spin. The Thomas factor gives a correction to the spin-orbit interaction in quantum mechanics, which takes into account the relativistic time dilation between the electron and the nucleus of an atom.""In February 1926 the missing factor two was supplied (Nature vol. 117) by Llewellyn Thomas and has since been known as the Thomas factor. Thomas noted that earlier calculations of the precession of the electronic spin had been performed in the rest frame of the electron, without taking into account the precession of the electron orbit around its normal. Inclusion of this relativistic effect reduces the angular velocity of the electron (as seen by the nucleus) by the needed factor 1/2. Einstein was surprised. Pauli became converted."" (Pais ""Inward Bound"", p. 279).
