The WAVES Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service also known as the Women's Reserve was the women's branch of the Naval Reserve during World War II. WAVES was established in 1942 when the Navy was authorized to accept women for the duration of war time plus six months. This measure was taken with the intention of sending men off to sea duty and replacing them with women on the shores. In order to be eligible for WAVES training school women had to be between 20 and 49 years old and have a college degree or two years of work experience. Newsfoto Publishing Company, [ hardcover

Ottimo esemplare. Varie immagini e schemi tecnici nel testo. Prima rarissima edizione francese di uno dei più celebri manuali di telegrafia senza fili, scritto dal grande professore scozzese di telegrafia senza fili e telefonia James Murray Erskine, tradotto da Henri Magniez ingegnere elettrico della Compagnia Generale di Radiotelegrafia. James Erskine-Murray (1868-1927), scozzese di nascita, fu uno dei più grandi esperti del suo tempo di tecnologia wireless. Si formò per sei anni studiando sotto Lord Kelvin presso l’Università di Glasgow prima di arrivare al Trinity College di Cambridge come studente di ricerca. Finiti gli studi divenne un consulente telegrafia e pubblicò quest’opera per la prima volta nel 1907. Il lavoro ebbe enorme successo prima nei paesi anglosassoni dove nel giro di meno dieci anni ebbe 6 ristampe e poi grazie a questa traduzione francese anche nel resto d’Europa. Il suo scopo era quello di informare i tecnici, studenti e operatori radio su molti aspetti di una tecnologia in rapida evoluzione. Il libro copre i recenti sviluppi del tempo. L’opera si pone come un classico precoce nel campo della progettazione e delle onde radio e offrì agli studenti contemporanei e appassionati di radio una guida utile e specifica sulle prime tecnologie wireless. Esemplare assai raro e ancor più raro in queste ottime condizioni di conservazione. A good copy.
