Item description from seller

First edition of this work on the mathematical methodology of the behaviour of electronic circuits. It was based on Aiken's 1947 lecture series, "Organization of Digital Calculating Machinery", and on research stemming from the Computation Laboratory's 1948 contract with the Air Force. Provenance: with the ownership signature and stamps of the aeronautical engineer William Curtis Rockefeller (1910-1982). A student of Theodore von Kármán, Rockefeller was the first recipient of the Lawrence B. Sperry Award and served as the meteorologist for Howard Hughes's 1936 record-setting flight; his work on the latter formed the basis of the Flight Advisory Weather Service. Origins of Cyberspace 419; Tomash & Williams H61. Quarto. Tables and diagrams. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Spine ends and corners rubbed; jacket unclipped, spine toned, marked, and with loss to ends, not affecting text, chips and closed tears to extremities: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.
