Talbot's paper: pp. 623-627. First printing of the paper in which Talbot describes how he worked out the method of instant photography. He patented it in 1852 and 1858. "The beginning of high speed photography might be considered to be William Henry Fox Talbot's experiment in 1851. He attached a page of the London Times newspaper to a wheel, which was rotated in front of his wet plate camera in a darkened room. As the wheel rotated, Talbot exposed a few square inches of the newspaper page for about 1/2000th of a second, using spark illumination from Leyden jars. This experiment resulted in a readable image."

From this it follows, he holds, that 'no society can predict, scientifically, its own future states of knowledge'(The present work, P vii)

First printing of Slepian's paper in which he used group theory to develop linear codes. "It appears that powerful codes must inevitably be complicated, and coding theory has progressed by building codes that have an ever-increasing mathematical structure. The first main step in this direction occurred in 1960s, when Slepian used group theory to develop linear codes. [The present paper anticipates this development]. In this work he also introduced the notion of a standard array, which greatly clarified the decoding problem". (Millman, A History of Engineering & Science in the Bell System, 1984, p.53).
