‎RALPH ALBRIGHT‎

‎1942 - 1945 ORIGINAL WORLD WAR II HANDWRITTEN NAVAL COMMUNICATION JOURNAL KEPT BY A METICULOUS AND ARTSY OFFICER WRITING DOWN HIS COMPREHENSIVE MATERIAL WHILE TRAINING FOR WARTIME COMBAT‎

‎TREASURE ISLAND SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA CA. Good. 1942. On offer is a truly exceptional document of WW2. It is the basic training military journal kept by Ralph Albright an actor and writer before the war and a member of the United States Naval Reserve during the duration of the war and six months after. The journal consists of loose leaf sheets on a small three-ring binder some typed but mostly handwritten. This journal presents together the two worlds that Ralph Albright lived in 1943. The world of the civilian from Spokane Washington an actor writer and avid reader and the world of the private learning the basics of the Navy in order to fight a bloody war for his country. This is a fantastic document for anyone interested in Naval basic training and/or an incredible document of the lives of a man getting ready to fight a war as it contains within an exceptional and comprehensive amount of learning material that naval privates encountered before setting out to fight in the World War. The beginning of the journal contains the typed poem “The Four Prominent Bastards” by Ogden Nash. Other sheets include “The Ladies as recited from Rudyard Kipling by Lieut Stout” “The Camel” written completely in shorthand “Army Climbing Rules” and a page of the “Five Best Novels 1924-44.” There are about 20 or so pages before the meat of the journal begins. There is a page titled: “Addresses” in which there is only one name and address: “W. R. Sharkey Jr. Lieut-commander USNR. Communication Officer CFOTCPAC SUBCOM S.F. Operational Training Command. Treasure Island. San Francisco California.” This seems to be his commanding officer. Most probably Treasure Island in San Francisco is where Albright’s basic training took place. The next section that takes up almost the entirety of the journal is prefaced with a sheet that says “NAVAL COMMUNICATION.” The part is made up of an immense amount of basic training information. “Duties of Comm. Officer” “Alarm Procedure” “Semaphore Procedure” System of Visual Responsibility” “Convoy Maneuvering” “Use of Sextant” “Chemical Warfare” and dozens more sections of information pertaining to naval training in World War 2 all written in legible handwriting by Pvt. Albright. There is also a couple pages of typed notes under the title “Sample Log” and “Logs Entries Therein.” It does not specify what day the logs were written. Excerpt: 0800 to 1200. Underway as before on course 282 T at 1/3 speed 115 r.p.m. 0925 Fog lifting. Increased speed to standard speed 315 r.p.m. 0930 Held quarters followed by general quarters and gun drill.

At the end of the book it seems that Mr. Albright is writing a play entitled “King Neptune” and he has cast his fellow soldiers in the roles of Queen Princess Royal Baby Davey Jones and others. The characters have characteristics under each a plot is written out with many scratch outs and marginalia throughout and a simple drawing of a stage is drawn. His fellow soldiers McConochie Capt. Peterson Lamar Phil Potts Armstrong and others were assigned the parts in the play. The book is in good condition. The black leather cover shows a good bit of wear and discoloration. The pages are all in good shape. Albright writes either in pencil or in black ink and as stated before there are a few typed pages as well. The book has over 200 pages and very few are blank. Background: Enlisting at the age of approximately 21 on January 15 1942 Ralph E Albright was a private in the United States Naval Reserve during World War II. At the time of enlistment Ralph Albright was single without dependents stood 69 inches tall weighed 140 pounds and had an education level of 1 year of college.

‎RALPH FREDRICK MACDONALD‎

‎1925 FASCINATING ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LETTER WITH DETAILS OF THE SCOPES MONKEY TRIAL HANDWRITTEN BY AN OFF THE WALL OBTUSE MAN TO HIS FORMER TEACHER‎

‎CHICAGO ILLINOIS IL 1925. On offer is a fascinating original July 1925 letter addressed to 'Mr. Hertzog' supposedly a well known Los Angeles radio personality though we cannot confirm regarding the ongoing infamous Scopes Monkey Trial. The letter is on the stationery of Mrs. H.B. Devine of Chicago Illinois but is signed by Ralph Fredrick MacDonald. Formally called 'State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes' the trial was a landmark American legal case in which high school science teacher John Scopes was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act which made it unlawful to teach evolution. Prosecuting was three time presidential candidate for the Democrats William Jennings Bryan while Clarence Darrow unsuccessfully defended Mr. Scopes. The letter refers to a news clipping absent regarding Dr. Metcalfe's testimony. MacDonald appears to have been in Hertzog's class knows Hertzog's son Walter and refers to Hertzog's claims about the existence of plant life 50 - 75000 years ago then he refers to 'those huge monsters' dinosaurs existing billions of years ago and then the letter turns into a diatribe wherein he states he 'hates Japs' and believes in white supremacy and prefers Greek architecture. All in all a very interesting association to the trial and peek at one man's radical and racial views at the time. Overall VG. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Manuscript. unknown‎

Near Fine Very Slight Rubbing At Corners Some Slight Browning To Endpapers; In Lightly Worn Blue Dj With Very Short Tears And Minor Losses Along Top And Bottom Edges Of Spine. No Names Or Marks. Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman Frs 1888 -1970 Was An Indian Physicist Known For His Work In The Field Of Light Scattering. Using A Spectrograph That He Developed He And His Student K. S. Krishnan Discovered That When Light Traverses A Transparent Material The Deflected Light Changes Its Wavelength And Frequency. This Phenomenon A Hitherto Unknown Type Of Scattering Of Light Which They Called "Modified Scattering" Was Subsequently Termed The Raman Effect Or Raman Scattering. In Addition To Being A New Phenomenon Itself The Raman Effect Was One Of The Earliest Proofs Of The Quantum Nature Of Light. Robert W. Wood At The Johns Hopkins University Was The First American To Confirm The Raman Effect In The Early 1929. He Made A Series Of Experimental Verification After Which He Commented Saying "It Appears To Me That This Very Beautiful Discovery Which Resulted From Raman's Long And Patient Study Of The Phenomenon Of Light Scattering Is One Of The Most Convincing Proofs Of The Quantum Theory". The Field Of Raman Spectroscopy Came To Be Based On This Phenomenon And Ernest Rutherford President Of The Royal Society Referred To It In His Presentation Of The Hughes Medal To Raman In 1930 As "Among The Best Three Or Four Discoveries In Experimental Physics In The Last Decade".Raman Received The 1930 Nobel Prize In Physics For The Discovery And Was The First Asian To Receive A Nobel Prize In Any Branch Of Science. With Suri Bhagavantam He Determined The Spin Of Photons In 1932 Which Further Confirmed The Quantum Nature Of Light. With Another Student Nagendra Nath He Provided The Correct Theoretical Explanation For The Acousto-Optic Effect Light Scattering By Sound Waves In A Series Of Articles Resulting In The Celebrated Raman-Nath Theory. Modulators And Switching Systems Based On This Effect Have Enabled Optical Communication Components Based On Laser Systems. Other Investigations He Carried Out Included Experimental And Theoretical Studies On The Diffraction Of Light By Acoustic Waves Of Ultrasonic And Hypersonic Frequencies And Those On The Effects Produced By X-Rays On Infrared Vibrations In Crystals Exposed To Ordinary Light Which Were Published Between 1935 And 1942. In 1948 Through Studying The Spectroscopic Behaviour Of Crystals He Approached The Fundamental Problems Of Crystal Dynamics In A New Manner.104105 He Dealt With The Structure And Properties Of Diamond From 1944 To 1968 The Structure And Optical Behaviour Of Numerous Iridescent Substances Including Labradorite Pearly Feldspar Agate Quartz Opal And Pearl In The Early 1950S. Among His Other Interests Were The Optics Of Colloids And Electrical And Magnetic Anisotropy His Last Interests In The 1960S Were On Biological Properties Such As The Colours Of Flowers And The Physiology Of Human Vision.Raman Was The Paternal Uncle Of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar Recipient Of The 1983 Nobel Prize In Physics. <br/> <br/> The Indian Academy Of Sciences hardcover‎

‎Signed First Day Cover‎

‎This legendary California commercial artist headed the Muirson Label Company for a half century; he created the original artwork for the 1988 U.S. "Carreta 1770s" stamp. Signed pseudo-First Day Cover 5½" X 3½" n.p. 1988 August 30. Near fine. Not actually a postally cancelled First Day Cover but a special cover created by the artist himself and hand labeled "First Day of Issue Aug. 30 88." Two 7.6-cent "Carreta1770s" stamps at upper right. At left are two small line drawings of carretas printed in brown ink and the verso is filled with a line drawing captioned "Circa 1800-1850 Californios Rode in Carretas / Crude Wooden Two-Wheeled Carts Drawn by Oxen" also printed in brown ink. Above this drawing the artist pens "Paul -- Used this scene on a cachet. / RR." Rambo pens the two "R"s back to back the second one in reverse so the result looks like a cattle brand. On the front side in the address portion at right Rambo addresses this to Paul Johnston though it was neither mailed nor postally cancelled and in the message portion at left he writes "Paul / Drew this up just / for the celebration. / Ralph Rambo / RR / Used the scene on / reverse on a cachet." A most unusual non-First Day Cover -- though hand labeled "First Day Cover" by the stamp's artist! unknown‎
