In-Band Single-Frequency Signaling. [Manuscript received June 7, 1954]. - [THE MOST INFAMOUS ARTICLE IN BELL]
New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1954. 8vo. The entire volume XXXIII (Part I-II), 1954 of The Bell System Technical Journal bound in a nice full green cloth. Library stamp to free front end-paper and title page. Minor discolouring to extremities. Binding tight, clean and fresh. Also internally very nice and clean. Pp. 1309-1330. [Entire volume: 1400 pp.]
First edition of this famous and influential paper, which described the process used for routing telephone calls over trunk lines. The article revealed the internal operation of the long distance switching system in use at that time. This information caused hackers and phone phreaks to develop the Blue Box which enabled them to make free long-distance calls. Among the more famous phreaks can be found the two Apple founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. The use of the Blue Box developed into a sub-culture and many of its users ended up with jail sentences for hacking. The article is now widely regarded as being the most infamous article in The Bell System Techinal Journal.

Die specifischen Wärmen der Elemente Kohlenstoff, Bor und Silicium. (2 Parts).
Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1875. Contemp. hcalf. Spine gilt. raised bands. Spine slightly rubbed. In ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von J.C. Poggendorff"", Bd. 154. X,644 pp. and 5 folded engraved plates. (Entire volume offered). Weber's paper: pp. 367-423 a. pp. 553-582.
First appearance of this importent paper in which Weber was able to explain why the Law of Dulon & Petit, based on the specific heat of only thirteen elements, was only approximately true. ""An explanation of this anomalous behaviour is to be found in the fact that, as shown by the physicist Heinrich Friedrich Weber, and confirmed by many workers in more recent times, the atomic heat increases at different rates with rise of temperature.... A theoretical basis for this law was obtained in more recent times by P. Debye.""(Findley ""A Hundred Years of Chemistry"", p. 77-78).""The three curious exceptions (C, B, Si) to the Dulong-Petit Law which were until now a cause for despair have been eliminated: the Dulong-Petit law for the specific heats of solid elements has become an exceptional rigorous law...""(Weber).On Albert Einstein and Weber's specific heat, see Pais: ""Subtle is the Lord"", pp. 389 ff.

Scarce first edition. ""In the early 1770s, while still studying theology, Weber bought an electrival machine from an old-clothes peddler. The purchase showed its value in 1778 when, just after his ordination, he won the prize from the Bavarian Academy of Sciences for an 'air electrophore', an air condenser with a movable coating, whose action he explained in the modern manner, using 'atmosphere' to mean 'sphere of activity'""(J.L.

""In a consecutive paper, Dirac applied second-order perturbation theory to the atom-field interaction and re-derived the kramers-Heisenberg formula for the scattering of light by atomic systems. Fner aspects of radiative processes, like line widths due to damping, required a more elaborate mathematical treatment [presented in the present paper].""

First appearance of Weisskopf seminal paper in which he for the very first time gave an indication that QED (Quantum electro dynamics) might be made a tractable theory.""At Pauli's suggestion [Weisskopf] computed the electron's self-energy in perturbation theory, including both electrons and positrons. In doing this calculation [Weisskopf] made a sign error, which was quickly pointed out by Wendell Furry"" when this was taken into account, the result was a self-energy that diverged logarithmically as the electron's radius a tended to zero (1934). This was an astonishing result: Classical electrodynamics was long known to produce a linear divergence, and the one-particle version of QED, already mentioned, yielded a quadratically divergent self-energy. The ""soft"" logarithmic divergence of QED with electrons and positrons was a first indication that QED might be made a tractable theory"" (Jackson, Victor Frederick Weisskopf).Later Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonago shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics ""for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics [QED], with deep ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particels"".

Zur Theorie der Kernmassen. - [THE BETHE-WEIZSÄCKER FORMULA]
Berlin, Springer, 1935. 8vo. Bound in contemporary half cloth with gilt lettering, In ""Zeitschrift für Physik"", Band 96, 1935. Entire issue offered. Two stamps to title page, otherwise fine. Pp. 431-458. [Entire volume :VIII, 801 pp].
First printing of Weizsäcker's exceedingly important paper containing the first appearance of Bethe-Weizsäcker formula, or Semi-Empirical Mass Formula (SEMF), a theoretical formula relating the curve of nuclear binding energy, nuclear masses, and certain other nuclear properties.In nuclear physics, the semi-empirical mass formula (SEMF) (sometimes also called Weizsäcker's formula, the Bethe-Weizsäcker formula, or the Bethe-Weizsäcker mass formula to distinguish it from the Bethe-Weizsäcker process) is used to approximate the mass and various other properties of an atomic nucleus. As the name suggests, it is based partly on theory and partly on empirical measurements. The theory is based on the liquid drop model proposed by George Gamow, which can account for most of the terms in the formula and gives rough estimates for the values of the coefficients. Although refinements have been made to the coefficients over the years, the structure of the formula remains the same today.The present volume also contain conttributions by Wener Heisenberg: Die Struktur der leichten Atomkerne.
