One of Bell System's most fundamental research tasks was to create a common communication carrier able to transmit a great many messages over a single long-distance channel such as the Transatlantic telephone cable laid down in 1957."Precise electrical filtration is required to combine the many individual speech signals into a single, wideband signal and to separate them after transmission. The wave filters required for this trask must have high stability and frequency selectivity. In the 1940s, W. P. Mason and collaborators pioneered in the application of especially cut quartz crystals for this purpose. Their designs contributed to the economical development of wideband carriers for high-capacity telephone systems". (Millman, A History of Engineering & Science in the Bell System, 1984, p. 108).

By 1920 he had left the laboratory to popularize genetics and harmonize the relationship between biology, religion, and the humanities.

Wrappers with light miscolouring, otherwise fine. 16 pp. First appearance - with the author's presentation inscription - of Ore's paper on the criteria for equations with primitive groups.Ore, Norwegian mathematician, is known for his work in ring theory, Galois connections, and most of all, graph theory. His early work was on algebraic number fields, how to decompose the ideal generated by a prime number into prime ideals. He then worked on noncommutative rings, proving his celebrated theorem on embedding a domain into a division ring. He then examined polynomial rings over skew fields, and attempted to extend his work on factorisation to non-commutative rings.

First printing of Clebsche's important paper on Pfaff invariants."German mathematician whose work on algebraic geometry was considered the first and most fundamental work in that branch of mathematics. Clebsch also developed a brilliant interpretation of some of Georg Riemann's work on function theory and investigated some aspects of algebraic geometry using approaches that differed from convention, focusing on algebraic interpretations rather than geometrical ones. Clebsch also founded an important journal, Mathematische Annalen before his premature death at the age of 39." (Schlager, Science and Its Times, P. 267)

Stockholm, (P.A. Norstedt), 1887. 8vo. In the original printed wrappers. No. 5, Vol.13 of 'Bihang till K. Svenska Vet.Akad. förandlingar'. A very fine and clean copy. 19 pp. + 1 plate. First edition.Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) was a prominent chemist and one of the founders of the science of physical chemistry. He was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the pioneering work which he had done in his famous dissertation on electrolytic conductivity ('Recherches sur la conductivité galvanique des électrolytes', 1884). However Arrhenius is becoming increasingly more known for his discovery of the greenhouse effect and its influence on global temperature.Papers from this supplement series to the 'Proceedings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' are often mistakenly identified as offprints or 'first seperate edition' (indicating the existence of a jounal edition) because they have their own title page with the publishers named and their own pagination, but they are not - all publications from this series were printed seperatley in this way and issued with wrappers.
