‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- ENVOI DE Raoul PICTET à Antoine LECLERC ainsi libellé : "A Monsieur Antoine LECLERC ; hommage et reconnaissance - signé Raoul PICTET 19 Août 1914" ---- "After studying physics and chemistry in Geneva and Paris, PICTET returned to his native city and devoted himself to experimentation in the physics of low temperatures with an eye to the fast-growing and lucrative refrigeration industry. A compression refrigeration system that he developed, with sulfur dioxide as its cooling medium, functioned at a much lower pressure than competing systems ; contact with water, however, often turned the refrigerant into corrosive sulfurous acid. This system, protected by a number of patents, was marketed with some success. It was PICTET's researches that led to a scientific achievement which at once made him internationally famous. In December 1877, when Louis Paul CAILLETET was about to report his liquefaction of oxygen to the Paris Academy of Sciences, PICTET cabled from Geneva that he had achieved the same feat...".

‎First appearance of a milestone paper in chemistry - issued at the same time in Geneva - in which Pictet announced and described his invention of the liquefaction-process of oxygen and nitrogen - the first liquefaction of an atmospheric gas.""It was Pictet's researches that led to a scientific achievement which at once made him internationally famous. In december of 1877, when Louis Paul Cailletet was about to report hisliquefaction of oxygen to the Paris Academy of Sciences, ictet cabled from Geneva that he hadachieved the same feat. Cailletet and Pictet had worked independently and by different methods. While Cailletet's method had been to compress, cool and expand the gas to be liquefied, Pictet had employed the ""cascade"" process, in which the refrigeration cycles of three different cooling media with successively lower critical temperatures were arranged in series, so that the gas liquefied in first would act as a cooolant in the liquefation of the next. ictet used sulphur dioxide in the first cycle, carbon dioxide in the second and oxygen in the last. Although Cailletet could establish a priority of a few weeks, Pictet has been allowed to share the credit for the first liquefaction of an atmospheric gas.""(DSB X, pp. 604-5).‎

‎First printing of these two milestone papers in Low-temperature Chemistry. This process of liquefaction of oxygene was achieved independently, in the same year, by Cailletet and Pictet, using different methods. Cailletet used the Joule-Thomson effect"" oxygen was cooled while highly compressed, then allowed to rapidly expand, cooling it further, resulting in the production of small droplets of liquid oxygen. Pictet's method was more elaborate, using compounds pumps. (This compound is shown on the illustration in the text).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1877 C. - Magee ""Source Books in Physics"" p. 192-93 (Cailletet) and pp. 194-96 (Pictet).‎
