‎First printing of an importent paper in information theory - the paper stating the earliest version of what will later be known as the ""Nyquist Sampling Theorem"", describing how many and what kind of samples are needed to construct a curve.""The theorem will be formulated more completely in 1928 and become one of the cornerstones of information theory"" (Bryan Bunch, 1841 M).‎
