(New York), American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1958. 8vo. Volume XXXVII, January, No. 1, 1958 of "The Bell System Technical Journal". In the original printed blue wrappers. A bit of sunning to spine and previous owner's signature to front wrapper, otherwise a very nice and fresh copy. [Shewhart's paper:] Pp. 1-22. [Slepian's paper:] Pp. 163-184. First edition of Shewhart's important paper on statistical quality control."Shewhart successfully brought together the disciplines of statistics, engineering, and economics and became known as the father of modern quality control. Shewhart was concerned that statistical theory serve the needs of industry. He exhibited the restlessness of one looking for a better way. A man of science who patiently developed and tested his ideas and the ideas of others, he was an astute observer of developments in the world of science and technology. In that respect, the field of quality control can claim a genuine pioneer in Shewhart." (Berger, Roger W. The Certified quality engineer handbook, 2002, P. 55).Most of Shewhart's papers were keept unpublished but implemented in the Bell Laboratories. The present paper was written in 1935 and it's techniques were put into practice immediately after it was, however, first published for a wider audience with the present article in 1958.The issue also includes the first edition of SLEPIAN'S groundbreaking paper on fluctuations of random noise. His analysis has exercised influence in measuring and analyzing back ground noise from space and, more exotic, analysis signals from outer space in search for extra-terrestrial aliens.

Lancaster, American Institute of Physics, 1949. Lex8vo. Volume 76, October 15, No. 8, 1949 of "The Physical Review", Second Series. Entire volume offered. In the original printed blue wrappers. Previous owner's name to vaguely stamped to top right corner of front wrapper. Minor traces of wear to extremities and a few small tears to spine. Overall a very nice and clean copy. Pp. 1226-1231. [Entire issue: Pp. 1005-1274]. First printing of Mayer's seminal paper which led to the finding of "magic number" and the Goeppert-Mayer "shell model". Marie Goeppert-Mayer and Marie Curie are the only two women to have received the Nobel Prize in Physics.The nuclear shell model is partly analogous to the atomic shell model which describes the arrangement of electrons in an atom. The nuclear shell model describes the structure of the nucleus in terms of energy based on the Pauli exclusion principle."With Edward Teller in 1947, Marie Goeppert-Mayer began work on the origin of elements, which led to the finding that stable elements contained what would become known as "magic numbers", or patterns in the number of particles their nuclei contain. This ultimately led Goeppert-Mayer to the "shell model" of the nucleus - the theory that atomic nuclei owe their stability to the existence of relatively fixed "shells" or orbits upon which proton and neutrons travel. While other physicists also had envisioned a shell model, there was no convincing evidence until Marie Goeppert-Mayer, acting on a suggestion made by Enrico Fermi, and German scientist H. H. D. Jensen, working simultaneously but seperatly, discovered that spin-orbit coupling occurred within nuclei." (Cullen-DuPont, Kathryn. Encyclopedia of women's history in America, 2000, p. 102) "When Teller and I worked on a paper on the origin of elements, I stumbled over the magic numbers. We found that there were a few nuclei which had a greater isotopic as well as cosmic abundance than our theory or any other reasonable continuum theory could possible explain. Then I found that those nuclei had something in common: they either had 82 neutrons, whatever the associated proton number, or 50 neutrons. Eighty-two and fifty are " magic " numbers. That nuclei of this type are unusually abundant indicates that the excess stability must have played a part in the process of the creation of elements." (Marie Goeppert-Mayer's Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1963)

Entire issue offered. Light occassional brownspotting. No institutional stamps, otherwise fine. Wöhler a. Liebig's papers: pp. 185-209 a. pp. 209-217. [Entire issue:] 447 pp. First appearance of this classic paper in organic chemistry in which Wöhler and Liebig showed how Amygdalin could be decomposed by a vegetable emulsion, the first example of a glycoside. The papers were issued at the same time in "Annalen der Physik und Chemie"."The conclusions which you have drawn from the investigation of bitter-almond oil," wrote Berzelius to Liebig and Wöhler, "are certainly the most importent which have so far been reached in the domain of vegetable chemistry, and give promise of shedding an unexpected light over this part of the science...The facts which you have set forth inspire such reflections that they may be regarded as the dawn of a new day in vegetable chemistry."(Berzelius-Wöhler Briefwechsel)."During the years that Liebig was preoccupied with the ether theory and with organic acids, he also carried out two importent investigations with Wöhler. In october 1836 Wöhler wrote that he had discovered a way to transform amygdalin to oil of bitter almonds and hydrocyanid acis, by distilling it with manganese and sulfuric acid, and he invited Liebig to join in pursuing the topic. Two days later he made a more remarkable discovery. It had occurred to him that perhaps thetransformation of amygdalin could be effected by the albumin in the almonds, in a manner similar to the action of yeast in sugar...Wöhler suspected that the decomposition was an example of what Berzelius had recently defined as catalysis. Liebig and Wöhler then divided up the detailed examination of the properties and composition of amygdalin. They precipitated from the emulsion of almonds a substance which when dissolved retain its action. They named the active substance "emulsion". Its effectiveness in very small quantities confirmed that it acted like yeast."(DSB VIII, p. 342).

Minor bumping to extremities. A part from a very few pencil marks, a nice and clean copy. [4ESS:] Pp. 1041-1224. [DSP:] Pp. 1431-1698 [Entire issue: Pp. 785-1709]. First edition of the first publications of two fundamental topics within the history of Bell Technical Journal (AT&T): The No. 4 ESS switch and the Digital Signal Processor (DSP). It was first put into use in Chicago, Illinois to replace the 4a crossbar switch. The last new 4ESS switch was set up in Atlanta in 1999 and is planned to be in operation until 2015. The great advantage with the 4ESS was its flexibility and speed. The pioneering Digital Signal Processor, DSP1 was invented by Bell Labs in the period 1977-78 with first samples tested in May 1979. The DSP1 was a key component in AT&T's 5ESS switch. DSP capability has since been implemented in every generation of the ESS-switches. Articles about the No. 4 ESS: 1. Martersteck, K.E.
