Otherwise a nice clean bright copy. Text in German. Cloth. Wagner was a full member of the Academy of Sciences Berlin and was made in 1931 an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Boston. He held numerous other awards including in 1930: Slaby-Plakette des Deutschen Funktechnischen Verbandes. In 1924 he founded the magazine Zeitschrift Elektrische Nachrichtentechnik. In the foreword Wagner notes that the sudden onset of broadcasting has created high demand for wireless telephony and has accelerated technical developments dramatically. The new building blocks of broadcasting can be built on the progress made in radio technology. In addition to the general relations of electrodynamics the laws of transmission propagation and reception of electric waves the events occurring in the electron tubes and their mode of action in the various circuits as rectifiers amplifiers and vibration exciters and finally the laws of acoustics and the operation of the electro-acoustic devices all play a role. Knowing all of these things is essential for building a good broadcast radio but is not easy to acquire because so far there has been no where to go for sound details regarding all of these issues. The Heinrich Hertz Society in 1925 created a plan to promote broadcasting over the airwaves by organizing a series of lectures about "The scientific basis of radio communications". This book was the much enlarged result. Wagner is probably best known for the development of what we now call wave filterswork he did starting in 1915. "The most prominent researchers G. A. Campbell in the United States and K. W. Wagner in Germany explored selective filter circuits for telephone applications in the early years of World War I thus paving the way for the first ideas about electrical circuit synthesis. They designed sophisticated filter circuits simply by cascading elementary sections of lossless inductors and capacitors. The circuits obtained in this way had a striking similarity to circuit models in engineering transmission line theory and henceforth were called ‘wave filters’." Life and Work of Wilhelm Cauer 1900 – 1945 Cauer et al Proc. MTNS2000 Perpignan France June 19 - 23 2000 Waveguide filters today are most useful in the microwave band of frequencies where they are a convenient size and have low loss. Examples of microwave filter use are found in satellite communications telephone networks and television broadcasting. Davis Electrical and Electronic Technologies #372 noting that in 1915 filter technology came into being with the independent proposal of it by Campbell and Wagner. Julius Springer unknown books

2005réf. 15208FRITZ WILLY AND BOB AND THE SUMMER OF '48 Posthumous Press 2005 first edition as new in like pictorial dust-wrapper. 1/85 copies the total print run. This small volume reproduces the text of a letter which has never before been published anywhere about a hitherto unknown occurrence from the world renowned film director Fritz Lang to his very good friend and perhaps equally renowned rocket and space travel enthusiast Willy Ley. It's a most fascinating letter revealing for the first time that George Pal was not Heinlein's first choice as producer on this project and concerns events of the summer of 1948 when then a still maturing science fiction writer named Robert Heinlein visited Fritz Lang in the hopes of stimulating the esteemed film director to produce an accurate and technically correct film of a journey to the moon. What actually transpired between the two men at least from Mr. Lang's point of view makes fascinating reading if not only for the fact that such a meeting took place but also in an attempt to better understand the machinations of that marvelous and enigmatic wonderland of magic and nepotism we call Hollywood. The 85 copies produced have some intentional variations. As with the first Posthumous Press publication which is now available only through the antiquarian market place at a price more than 6 times the original it will not be reprinted.
