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.

Leipzig, B.G. Teubner, 1890. 8vo. Original printed wrappers, no backstrip and a small nick to front wrapper. In "Mathematische Annalen. Begründet durch Rudolf Friedrich Alfred Clebsch. XXXVII. [37]. Band. 4. Heft." Entire issue offered. Internally very fine and clean. [Klein:] Pp. 544-72; 573-90. [Entire issue: Pp. pp. 465-604]. First printing of Klein's important contribution to non-Euclidean geometry. Klein saw a fundamental unity in the subject of non-Euclidean geometry. Rather than a heterogeneous collection of abstruse mathematics, non-Euclidean geometry was in Klein's view a "concrete discipline".For over two millennia geometry had been the study of theorems which could be proved from Euclid's axioms. However, in the beginning of the 19th century it was proved that there exist other geometries than that of Euclid. Motivated by the emergence of the new geometries of Bolyai, Lobachevsky, and Riemann, Klein proposed to define a geometry, not by a set of axioms, but instead in terms of the transformations that leave it invariant; according to Klein, a geometric structure consists of a space together with a particular group of transformations of the space. A valid theorem in that particular geometry is one that holds under this group of transformations. This controversial idea did not only give a more systematic way of classifying the different geometries, but also gave birth to new geometric structures such as manifolds.

The year 1672 was marked by a coordinated attack on the Dutch Republic by France, England and the German areas of Münster and Cologne.It is regarded as being one of the most significant crises in Dutch history, a time when the Republic’s survival was under threat.

An important diplomat, he was recalled in 1679, and for a brief period was a leading advisor to Charles II of England, with whom he then fell out.

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).
