First printing of Pauli's important paper on the equilibrium between free electrons and radiation at a given temperature .Pauli worked on the present paper while staying in Copenhagen and studying under Niels Bohr: "In Copenhagen Pauli had found some solace not so much by strolling in the beautiful streets as by thinking about problems other than the anomalous Zeeman effect. One problem in particular caught his interest during this time: The thermal equilibrium between radiation and free electron. It was motivated by the tremendous boost that the photon idea advanced by Einstein in 1905 received in 1923 when Arthur Holly Compton experimentally confirmed the relativistic kinematics for the scattering between a photon and a free electron at rest derived independently by himself and by Peter Debye."

Berlin, (1934). Original printed wrappers. a bit of wear to capitals with minor loss to top one. Notes to blank verso of final leaf. 246, (2) pp. First edition, first printing of this scarce account of the first German concentration camp, a whitewashing apologetic “Anti-Brown-Book”, in which the camp commander attempts to disprove allegations against the camp as “atrocious propaganda”. “The Oranienburg concentration camp was established as one of the first concentration camps on March 21, 1933, overshadowed by the Day of Potsdam. After the “Night of the Long Knives,” the SA-run camp was taken over by the SS in July 1934 and dissolved a little later… Initially SA-Regiment 208 (Standarte 208) established the Oranienburg concentration camp without notifying the responsible authorities in Berlin beforehand. The first inmates were 40 prisoners who were dragged to the small town 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) north of Berlin on the evening of March 21, 1933. The first concentration camp in Prussia was thus situated on the grounds of a former brewery on a main road in Oranienburg. From September 1933, subcamps existed at the Elisenau manor in Blumberg near Bernau and in Börnicke. (https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/oranienburg-1) “Seger managed to escape in December 1933, fleeing first to Czechoslovakia and later to the United States of America. His book on the terror in Oranienburg was one of the first books written about the conditions in a concentration camp from firsthand experience.” (Holocaust Encyclopaedia) “Only a few days after the establishment of the camp, SA Standartenführer Werner Schulze-Wechsungen transferred control of the camp to the Potsdam district president. Henceforth the camp as well as the guards were paid from tax money. In total, the German tax payer paid 280,000 Reichsmark (RM) between August 1933 and July 1934 to sustain the camp. Internment in the camp was initiated not only by the police and party authorities but also by local administrative authorities. Only because of its location in the town, the camp proved to be a “transparent concentration camp.” The town of Oranienburg had the political prisoners perform communal work. The camp commander, SA-Sturmbannführer Werner Schäfer, compiled an apologetic “Anti-Brown Book” (Anti-Braunbuch), in which he characterized allegations about the Oranienburg concentration camp as “atrocious propaganda.” Repeatedly he invited German and foreign journalists to tour the camp. A radio program “reported” from the concentration camp. The local press wrote extensively about the new institution. Also, movie theaters showed propagandistic photos of the new concentration camp. About 3,000 prisoners were deprived of their liberty in the Oranienburg concentration camp. The number of prisoners varied considerably. It rose rapidly until August 1933, from 97 to 911, but declined by the end of June 1934 to 271. The prisoners were mostly between the ages of 20 and 40, laborers, unemployed, from Berlin and from the area north of Berlin. Many were taken to Oranienburg after the dissolution of smaller Brandenburg concentration camps (including Alt Daber, Börnicke, Havelberg, and Perleberg) in June and July 1933. Prisoners from the concentration camps in Börgermoor, Lichtenburg, and Sonnenburg were interned at Oranienburg in September and October. Most of the inmates were members of the German Communist Party (KPD), the Social Democratic Party (SPD), and smaller left-wing organizations such as the Socialist Workers’ Party (SAP) and the German Communist Party Opposition (KPO). It is noteworthy that about 50 Jewish youths were also carried off to the camp from a home dedicated to advanced pedagogical ideas that was operated by the German Jewish Community Association (Deutsch-israelitischer Gemeindebund) in Wolzig. They had been abducted because of “Communist activities”.” (Holocaust Encyclopaedia)

Minor bumping to extremities. Beside a very few pencil marks a nice and clean copy. Pp. 391- 657. [Entire issue: Pp. XXXX, (1), 659]. First edition of Bell System's description of the highly influential and innovative first remote switching system. (No. 10A RSS).With the rapid rise in households with a telephone in the 50ies and 60ies, a new and more effective switching system was needed. The Bell System developed the No. 1 ESS (Electronic Switching System) to meet with these demands. The ESS made servicing easier but a more automatic and centralized structure was needed in order to meet the demands of smaller businesses. "With the evolution in electronic technology currently in progress, it was evident that intelligent remotely controlled devices could be brought into central office switching environment. A system which could effectively and economically remote large portions of its network over large distances could rapidly be deployed over major segments of the Bell System network. The era of electronic switching began with the introduction of the No. 1 ESS into commercial service in 1965. [...] In spite of this activity, there remains a large segment of Bell System central offices that until the introduction of the 10A RSS could not justify the introduction of electronic switching technology." (From the introducing article).Even though the No. 10A RSS essentially was built upon the No. 1 ESS it was still a milestone in the history of telephony.
