The color is worn out, especially on the front board, but this is still an attractive item. H.D. Justi (1834-1922) became a manufacturer of dental supplies and false teeth shortly after his arrival in the U.S. around 1850. He devised new molds that allowed a colored veneer to cover the Vulcan rubber base. He presented his method to the Orum and Armstrong Tooth Co. which promptly hired him. Justi soon became a partner in the firm and bought out his partners in 1864 to form the H.D. Justi Co. Justi's dental appliance company became nationally prominent. Before his inventions, porcelain teeth were hand crafted for each patient. His techniques turned it into a more standardized manufacturing process. He soon opened a new large manufacturing space and dental supply shop, and in 1886 they built a large factory at 32nd & Spring Garden in Philadelphia. He revolutionized the false teeth industry.

Contents moderately yellowed. Spotting to rear flyleaf and back of page 237. This book was designed to fill a gap in the literature on vacuum tubes, viz., graphical constructions. By graphical constructions are meant those geometric manipulations by which are obtained solutions to problems on nonlinear circuits, particularly those involving vacuum tubes. Analytical derivations are often in the body of the text, as in the chapters on balanced amplifiers and on detection. Much of the material here is original, and a good deal of this appeared in the 'RCA Review' and in 'Communications.' However, in many instances the discussion has been expanded and revised, as in the chapter on balanced amplifiers. Chapters include 1. The Non-Linear Circuit Problem 2. Thermoionic Vaccum Tubes 3. Elementary Graphical Constructions 4. Reactive Loads 5. Balanced Amplifiers. 6. Detection 7. Misc. Graphical Constructions. Each chapter has its own bibliography. From the Radio Communication Series.

"Shul and Watson take you with them on their hottest SR-71 missions during the Libyan Crisis in 1896. Flying in support of the F-111 bombing raid on Libyan terrorist camps, they were the only SR-71 crew ever to fly three missions in three days. Roaring across the African desert faster than a Magnum .357 bullet, the crew reveals in riveting detail what it was like to outrun enemy missiles and complete the most exhausting missions of their Blackbird career. Masterfully intertwines cockpit action with the fascinating revelations of that unique cadre of civilians who helped design, build and maintain the most remarkable aircraft of the 20th Century. Lavishly illustrated with rare [color] photographs, [this book] is a riveting complementary volume to Sled Driver, taking you straight into the thick of combat through the firsthand perspectives of both Pilot and RSO. Transports you directly into the cockpit as the mission clock ticks down, revealing through the poignant words of those who were there why the people and the plane were truly untouchable." - dust jacket.
