‎First edition of the technical description of Bell System's picturephone System.When the system was launched it was regarded as a state of the art information tool. It was being used in various science fiction-movies, among these, Stanley Cubric's A Space Odyssey.""The AT&T picturephone offered full motion, a monochrome picture, and about half the resolution of a conventional TV image. It worked over three phone lines, and though fairly costly, was somewhat affordable. The AT&T picturephone utilized sophisticated image technology and was a well designed product offering desk-top, impulse use."" (Noll, Michael. Highway of dreams: a critical view along the information superhighway, 1997, p. 27).It never became a huge success and after a few years only, it was taken off the market. In the history of the telephone and communication in general, however, it occupies an important role, as this was the first time that a visual personal communication tool was being offered to a broad audience. In this respect, it can be regarded as the forerunner of web-cam and video mobiles. Other papers of interest is contained in the present volume:1. Baird, Jack A. The Picturephone System: Foreword.

‎First edition of Bell System's description of the highly influential and innovative first remote switching system. (No. 10A RSS).With the rapid rise in households with a telephone in the 50ies and 60ies, a new and more effective switching system was needed. The Bell System developed the No. 1 ESS (Electronic Switching System) to meet with these demands. The ESS made servicing easier but a more automatic and centralized structure was needed in order to meet the demands of smaller businesses. ""With the evolution in electronic technology currently in progress, it was evident that intelligent remotely controlled devices could be brought into central office switching environment. A system which could effectively and economically remote large portions of its network over large distances could rapidly be deployed over major segments of the Bell System network. The era of electronic switching began with the introduction of the No. 1 ESS into commercial service in 1965. [...] In spite of this activity, there remains a large segment of Bell System central offices that until the introduction of the 10A RSS could not justify the introduction of electronic switching technology."" (From the introducing article).Even though the No. 10A RSS essentially was built upon the No. 1 ESS it was still a milestone in the history of telephony.‎

Previous owner's stamp to front wrapper, and very light brownspotting to spine, otherwise a near mint copy. Pp. 1155-1479 + two folded plates, one loosely inserted.‎

‎First publication of AT&T's first submarine telephone cable across the pacific. It went from Japan to Hawaii, where it connected to two cables linking Hawaii with the mainland. This brought the same improvements to trans-Pacific service that the TAT-1 had brought to trans-Atlantic service in 1956. (See link below). Since the trans-Atlantic service opened in 1927, calls had traveled across the ocean via radio waves. But cables provide much higher signal quality, avoid atmospheric interference and offer greater capacity and security.Due to uncertainties in global politics, the economic involvement by the US government in the project was minimal.

‎First appearance of this famous memoir, in which Ampère presented his collected results on electrodynamics to the French Academy, creating the foundation of 19th century developments in electricity and magnetism. In the words of James Clark Maxwell, ""We can scarcely believe that Ampère really discovered the law of action by means of the experiments which he describes. We are led to suspect, what, indeed, he tells us himself, that he discovered the law by some process which he has not shown us, and that when he had afterwards built up a pefect demonstration he removed all traces of the scaffolding by which he raised it.""The offered memoir was published BEFORE the famous ""Theorie mathématique des phénomènes électro-dynamiques uniquement déduite de L'expérience"", which did not appear until 1827. That 1827-Memoire incorporates, together with a new presentation of Ampère's results from 1820, 1822, 1823, the offered memoir (1825). (Horblit: 100 - Dibner: 62).""From 1814 until 1820 Ampére did not perform the kind of research that would have made it into the annals of the histrory of science, but on September 11, 1820 when he heard Francois Arago speak about Oersted's work, he got fresh inspiration and started the work that made him famous. Arago related how Oersted had found that a steady electric current influences the orientation of a compass needle. After a weak Ampère had determined experimentally that that two straight, parallel, and current-carrying, wires execute a force on each other. The magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the distance between the wires and proportional to the strenghts of the current..... During the following years he continued his researches, both experimentally and theoretically. he built an instrument for measuring electricity that later was developed into the galvanometer. Finally in 1825 he presented his collected results to the Academy IN ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED MEMOIRS IN THE HISTORY OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY (The paper offered).""
