Reading creases to covers.… Previous owner name (R. Warner, 1-118) inked on front cover. Minor edgewear, otherwise a nice copy.

This variant has reset covers, with minor differences on the front cover illustration lower right (the transistor icon touches the outside of the circle in three places and is simplified, where on most copies we've seen it does not touch the circle edges at all). Wraps. Bell Telephone System, Technical Publications, Monograph 1726. Collects a number of important transistor related papers from the Bell System Technical Journal, Vol 28, pp. 335-489, July 1949. Reprints "Hole Injection in Germanium - Quantitative Studies and Filamentary Transistors", "Some Circuit Aspects of the Transistor", "Theory of Transient Phenomena in the Transport of Holes in an Excess Semiconductor", "On the Theory of the A-C Impedance of a Contact Rectifier", and "The Theory of p-n Junctions in Semiconductors and p-n Junction Transistors." Plus an editorial note regarding semiconductors. COLLECTORS NOTE: The Bell System Monograph series is not an offprint series although it is often incorrectly referred to in this manner. It was rather a publication of Bell Telephone Laboratories used to widely distribute (primarily to libraries and large corporations) research articles written by Bell System employees in a variety of widely dispersed publications (including but certainly not limited to the Bell System Technical Journal). The series therefore represents a much broader selection of Bell System research than the Bell System Technical Journal did. Collectors prize this series as they are often (but not always) the first separate appearance of a paper and hence are the closest one can get to the elusive and ever sought after offprint.

Since no one had yet found an offprint of either the Physical Review or BSTJ papers, we previously documented this Monograph as the first separate edition ("the closest one could get to an offprint of this paper"). But a kind customer just showed us his copy of the Physical Review offprint which is fantastic. Failing the discovery of a similar offprint from the BSTJ, the Physical Review offprint must precede the Bell System Monograph B-1659 offered here, since nearly all papers we know of were published in the Bell System Monograph series later than the BSTJ. We have lowered the price accordingly given the new publishing history.

" (Origins of Cyberspace) LITERATURE: Hook and Norman, Origins of Cyberspace, #450 (referencing the Bell System Technical Journal publication) COLLECTORS NOTES: The Bell Telephone System Monograph series offered a way to obtain individual articles by Bell scientists regardless of where their work was first published. Many Monographs significantly postdate the original article publication. Because of this, they rarely constitute the coveted (and traditional) article offprint. If the journal of record issued no offprint, the Monograph might be the first separate publication - the closest the collector can come to a traditional offprint. We have done our best to place each Monograph properly in the article's publishing history and welcome any corrections or additional information, especially regarding issues unknown to us.

The entire Volume XXIX offered, contain…ing 4 quarterly issues of the Bell System Technical Journal (only the January issue still retains it's original wrappers as often the case). The article by Hamming is found on pp. 147-160 in the April 1950 issue. Sound and clean, noting a taped tear on page 496. Cloth. Volume XXIX contains work by some of Bell Lab's great minds. It contains work by Hamming in coding theory, Pierce on traveling wave tubes, Shannon on Memory sizing, 2 articles by Hartley and Bardeen on Germanium Point Contacts. It also includes articles on the transistor and triode as they were being developed. A few of the highlights follow. "Hamming was the first coding theorist to attract widespread interest in his work.frustrated when a failure in one of Bell Lab's relay comptuers had spoiled a run of data, Hamming began developing the first error-correction codes (now known as Hamming codes), which enabled computers to find and correct single errors in a stretch of data, as well as to discover double errors. Error correction has since been developed into a scientific discipline." (Origins of Cyberspace 646) Pierce's massive four installment article on Traveling-Wave Tubes is found in the January, April, July and October issues. Pierce "invented the electron-multiplier tube and electron gun (the basis of television computer monitors, and other visual display equipment), and was instrumental in developing NASA's first communications satellites" (Origins of Cyberspace 836). Issue 3 in this volume includes Shannon's Memory Requirements in a Telephone Exchange. (Origins of Cyberspace 883). "Charles Kennedy ("Ned") Birdsall, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, and a pioneering inventor and educator in microwave tubes and plasma physics.Among numerous awards and honors for his contributions, Ned was selected as the inaugural recipient for the IEEE Marie Sklodowska-Curie Award in 2011. This Technical Field Award is one of the highest awards in the IEEE hierarchy, and recognizes outstanding contributions to the field of Nuclear and Plasma Sciences and Engineering. His citation is "for theoretical investigations and fundamental discoveries involving microwave tubes, electron beam physics and particle-in-cell simulation of plasma physics."

Bardeen, Brattain and Shockley won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 "for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect." The first paper referenced here, 'Physical Principles Involved in Transistor Action' is the classic paper on the subject, here in it's original publication format. The same paper was published simultaneously in the April 15, 1949 issue of the Physical Review. This volume also contains a paper by Claude Shannon 'Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems' which was originally published in a classified memorandum 'A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography' in Sept 1, 1945. It was declassified, and published here for the first time publically. There are also other papers on the transistor, and papers by other Bell System researchers. The Bell System Research Labs functioned as a rich incubator during this period, turning out key developments across many technologies. The Bell System Technical Journal is an important journal of record for research in electronics, physics, communications theory, and mathematics. Shannon, Collected Papers #24 (original memorandum publication) and #25 (this publication, which is noted as superceding the original memorandum). Origins of Cyberspace 450.
