First Edition. [1115]-1338 pages. 10 1/2 x 7 7/8 inches. Original green printed wraps. Bump to the base of the spine panel, some creasing to the covers, minor overall wear, small tear to the bottom wrapper, tiny chip to wrapper corner bottom wrapper, browning and minor tearing to the spine panel. Clean internally. Wraps. We offer the first comprehensive report on the transistor in the Physical Review. This important article was published in both the Bell System Technical Journal and [as here] the Physical Review in April 1949 (no known precedence). In our experience the Physical Review version is more difficult to find than the BSTJ. Both are getting increasing difficult to find in original wrappers. "The first comprehensive report on the transistor [as here], which had been announced in three brief papers published in the Physical Review in the previous year. The transistor gradually replaced the bulkier vacuum tube, allowing heat reduction and miniaturization of electronic deviecs. Transistors began to be employed on a large scale in computer manufacturing in the late 1950s; they were eventually miniaturized and incorporated into microprocessors. Bardeen and Brattain shared the 1956 Nobel Prize for physics with William Shockley.for their investigations of semiconductors (the materials of which transistors are made) and for their discovery of the transistor. " (Origins of Cyberspace) LITERATURE: Hook and Norman, Origins of Cyberspace, #450 (referencing the Bell System Technical Journal publication) COLLECTORS NOTES: This paper was first presented (in part) at the Chicago meeting of the American Physical Society, Nov. 26 and 27, 1948. Shockley and the authors presented a paper on 'The Electronic Theory of the Transistor" at the Berkeley meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, Nov 15-17, 1948. While received by the publishing arm of the Bell Telephone Laboratories Dec. 27, 1948, this paper was first published in April in BOTH the Bell System Technical Journal 28, No. 2 (April 1949) AND [as here] The Physical Review Vol 75, pp. 1208-1225 (April 15, 1949). There is no known precedence between the Bell System Technical Journal appearance and the Physical Review appearance. …
