196343075New York American Telephone and Telegraph Company 1963. 8vo. 3 original full green cloth. Volume 42 1963-123 of "The Bell System Technical Journal". Library stamp to free front end-paper. Minor bumping to extremities. A nice clean uniform set. 20 738 pp. 2 739-1940 pp. 1941-2974 pp. <br/><br/><em>First publication of the first description of the world's first television satellite. Telstar I made a tremendous impact on the world by transmitting transatlantic live television. "Telstar captured the popular imagination in a way that it is hard to believe any satellite especially a communication satellite could do today. According to AT&T more than half the population of the UK watched its first transatlantic transmission a remarkable percentage given that far fewer people than today owned television sets." Gavaghan Something New under the Sun p. 188According to the US Space Objects Registry Telstar 1 and 2 were still in orbit as of May 2010. The Telstar-satellites represent the true beginning of satellite communication.Telstar 1 was launched on July 10th 1962 and was the world's first active repeater satellite the primary function of which was transmission of voice black/white and colour television fascimilie and high- and low-speed data. The Telstar-project had five overall objectives; to demonstrate broadband transmission test operational communication satellite reliability obtain operational experience with ground terminals and provide space radiation measurement.Telstar 1 was a medium-altitude satellite with an elliptic orbit which was completed once every 2 hours and 37 minutes. Due to Telstar's non-geosynchronous orbit its availability for transatlantic signals was limited to 20 minutes in each orbit that passed over the Atlantic Ocean. The Telstar 2 was almost identical with Telstar 1 but had a higher orbit to reduce exposure to the damaging effect of the radiation belt. The Chief of NASA's Communications Satellite Programs wrote in 1966: "Although not the first communications satellite Telstar is the best known of all and is probably considered by most observers to have ushered in the era of satellite communications. This impression was a result of the tremendous impact upon the public by the first transmission of live television across the Atlantic Ocean. Telstar I was launched on July 10 1962 and on that same day live television pictures originating in the United States were received in France." Jaffe pg. 107"On the whole Telstar made a tremendous impact in the nation by transmitting transatlantic live television which demonstrated the possibilities for commercial satellite television and other services." Delbert. Communication via satellite 83 p. The Telstar-satellites were not the first launched satellites but they were the first to demonstrate the possibilities of satellites and to present them to a broader audience. The three volumes offered contain a wide variety of articles related to the Telstar satellites from the technical design of the satellite to transmission test and evaluation to spacecraft test.Issue 1:1.

The Society's name perpetuates the life and work of Thomas Newcomen 1663-1729 the British pioneer whose valuable contributions in improvements to the newly invented Steam Engine brought him lasting fame in the field of the Mechanic Arts. The Newcomen Engines whose period of use was from 1712 to 1775 paved a way for the Industrial Revolution Newcomen's inventive genius preceded by more than 50 years the brilliant work in Steam by the world-famous James Watt.
