Bump to the base of the spine panel, some creasing to the covers, minor overall wear, small tear to the bottom wrapper, tiny chip to wrapper corner bottom wrapper, browning and minor tearing to the spine panel. Clean internally. Wraps. We offer the first comprehensive report on the transistor in the Physical Review. This important article was published in both the Bell System Technical Journal and [as here] the Physical Review in April 1949 (no known precedence). In our experience the Physical Review version is more difficult to find than the BSTJ. Both are getting increasing difficult to find in original wrappers.

Wraps. Condizione: Very Good. First Separate Edition. First Separate Edition. 18, [2 (blank)] pages. 10 7/8 x 8 3/8 inches. Original blue and gray printed wrappers with 5 hole punches at the spine (as issued). A touch of wear to the extremities, and offsetting to rear panel (apparently from an adjacent Bell Monograph). Front cover clean, rear soiled. Clean internally. Wraps. This paper was first presented (in part) at the Chicago meeting of the American Physical Society, Nov. 26 and 27, 1948. While received by the publishing arm of the Bell Telephone Laboratories Dec. 27, 1948, this paper was first published in April in BOTH the Bell System Technical Journal 28, No. 2 (April 1949) AND The Physical Review Vol 75, pp. 1208-1225 (April 15, 1949). Until recently, the Monograph was the closest a collector could come to a coveted offprint. We previously cataloged the Monograph as the "first separate edition" since no offprint had been found from either the Bell System Technical Journal or The Physical Review publications. It remains the closest a collector can come to an offprint of the Bell System Technical Journal article, since no one has discovered a separate offprint issued for the BSTJ article (in general there are very few true offprints of Bell System Technical Journal articles). However we recently became aware that there is an offprint of the Physical Review article - so for the offprint purist that is the "best" one can find (we have only seen that one example in our 20 years in the business). This Monograph issue will remain coveted, as many collectors acquire both the Physical Review and the BSTJ issues of this important paper. "The first comprehensive report on the transistor, which had been announced in three brief papers published in the Physical Review in the previous year. The transistor gradually replaced the bulkier vacuum tube, allowing heat reduction and miniaturization of electronic deviecs.

" (Origins of Cyberspace, referring to the BSTJ article) LITERATURE: Hook and Norman, Origins of Cyberspace, #450 (referencing the Bell System Technical Journal publication) COLLECTORS NOTES: The Bell Telephone System Monograph series offered a way to obtain individual articles by Bell scientists regardless of where their work was first published. Many Monographs significantly postdate the original article publication. Because of this, they rarely constitute the coveted (and traditional) article offprint. If the journal of record issued no offprint, the Monograph might be the first separate publication - the closest the collector can come to a traditional offprint. We have done our best to place each Monograph properly in the article's publishing history and welcome any corrections or additional information, especially regarding issues unknown to us.…

Birdsall) printed at base of spine panel and signature on front wrapper of January issue. Bound privately from separate issues, this copy does not have a volume title page. The entire Volume XXIX offered, containing 4 quarterly issues of the Bell System Technical Journal (only the January issue still retains it's original wrappers as often the case). The article by Hamming is found on pp. 147-160 in the April 1950 issue. Sound and clean, noting a taped tear on page 496. Cloth. Volume XXIX contains work by some of Bell Lab's great minds. It contains work by Hamming in coding theory, Pierce on traveling wave tubes, Shannon on Memory sizing, 2 articles by Hartley and Bardeen on Germanium Point Contacts. It also includes articles on the transistor and triode as they were being developed. A few of the highlights follow. "Hamming was the first coding theorist to attract widespread interest in his work.frustrated when a failure in one of Bell Lab's relay comptuers had spoiled a run of data, Hamming began developing the first error-correction codes (now known as Hamming codes), which enabled computers to find and correct single errors in a stretch of data, as well as to discover double errors. Error correction has since been developed into a scientific discipline." (Origins of Cyberspace 646) Pierce's massive four installment article on Traveling-Wave Tubes is found in the January, April, July and October issues. Pierce "invented the electron-multiplier tube and electron gun (the basis of television computer monitors, and other visual display equipment), and was instrumental in developing NASA's first communications satellites" (Origins of Cyberspace 836). Issue 3 in this volume includes Shannon's Memory Requirements in a Telephone Exchange. (Origins of Cyberspace 883). "Charles Kennedy ("Ned") Birdsall, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, and a pioneering inventor and educator in microwave tubes and plasma physics.Among numerous awards and honors for his contributions, Ned was selected as the inaugural recipient for the IEEE Marie Sklodowska-Curie Award in 2011. This Technical Field Award is one of the highest awards in the IEEE hierarchy, and recognizes outstanding contributions to the field of Nuclear and Plasma Sciences and Engineering. His citation is "for theoretical investigations and fundamental discoveries involving microwave tubes, electron beam physics and particle-in-cell simulation of plasma physics."

First printing of the single most important volume of The Physical Review containing an exceptional number of important papers - amongst other the first paper to describe the transistor: One of the most important inventions of the 20th Century which awarded them the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956.,The three first titles are the short letters in Physical Review which first announced the invention of the transistor. The following year Bardeen and Brattain published the more comprehensive report "Physical Principles Involved in Transistor Action". This paper was simultaneously published, the same month, in The Bell System Technical Journal (Number 2 volume 28). In 1956 Bardeen and Brattain shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with William Shockley "for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect". In 1972 Bardeen again received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his part in the development of the theory of superconductivity (BCS-theory), and thus became the only person, until this day, to receive the Nobel Prize more than once in the same field. "The invention of the transistor would in time change the world by making possible the microchip and all the devices that followed from it, but the discovery ruined the spirit of the Bell Laboratories semiconductor group. Shockley, who had been uninvolved in the invention of the original transistor, stunned Bardeen and Brattain when he tried to patent the invention in his name, hoping to base it on his suggestion of the field-effect amplifier. Shockley's plan failed because the patent attorneys discovered that Julius E. Lilienfeld, a Polish-American inventor, had already patented the field-effect notion in 1930. Shockley further antagonized Brattain and Bardeen by preventing them from working on the consequences of their historic invention, a second transistor, known as the junction device, which could better be used commercially." (DSB)The issue also contain two of the papers leading to Richard Feynman's 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics, (A Relativistic Cut-Off for Classical Electrodynamics & Relativistic Cut-Off for Quantum Electrodynamics) and the paper that led to Polykarp Kusch's 1955 Nobel Prize in Physics (The Magnetic Moment of the Electron)Also containing Maria Goeppert-Mayer paper that led to her 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics (On Closed Shells in Nuclei), the seminal P. A. M. Dirac paper on magnetic monopoles (A theory of Magnetic Poles) and three important papers on The Big Bang Theory by George Gamow, Ralph Alpher and George Herman (The Origin of the Elements and the Separation of Galaxies & Thermonuclear Reactions in the Expanding Universe & On the Relative Abundance of the Elements & A Neutron-Capture Theory of the Formation and Relative Abundance of the Elements).See Hook & Norman: Origins of Cyberspace, No. 450.…
