First edition. "Aston's invention of the mass spectrograph an instrument giving a concentrated and extremely detailed breakdown of the constituents of analyzed material enabled him to discover that elements are composed of atoms of varying mass and that the atomic weight of an element is an average of the atoms comprising it. Aston used the word "isotopes" to describe atoms of differing weights within the same element a term first coined by Frederick Soddy to describe separate elements that are nevertheless homogeneous in chemical behavior." :: Norman. Aston won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1922. NOBEL-PRIZE: "At the end of 1909 he accepted the invitation of Sir J.J. Thomson to work as his assistant at the Cavendish Laboratory Cambridge on studies of positive rays. It was during this period that he obtained definite evidence for the existence of two isotopes of the inert gas neon." "This research was interrupted by the War of 1914-1918 during which time Aston worked at the Royal Aircraft Establishment Farnborough where he studied the effect of atmospheric conditions on aeroplane fabrics and dopes i.e. synthetic coatings." "Returning to the Cavendish Laboratory in 1919 he again attacked the problem of the separation of the isotopes of neon. He quickly achieved success in this by his invention of the mass spectrograph an apparatus in which the ingenious use of electromagnetic focusing enabled him to utilize the very slight differences in mass of the two isotopes to effect their separation. Extending this principle to other chemical elements he discovered in a series of measurements no less than 212 of the naturally occurring isotopes. From the results of this work he was able to formulate the so-called Whole Number Rule which states that the mass of the oxygen isotope being defined all the other isotopes have masses that are very nearly whole numbers." "Aston continued to make measurements using an improved instrument with ever-increasing refinement and precision. He observed and was able to measure those deviations from the Whole Number Rule which were to become so important in the field of atomic energy." "The results of his work were published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society and in the Philosophical Magazine. He was also the author of the books Isotopes 1922; revised edition 1941 and of Structural Units of the Material Universe 1923." :: NobelPrize.

In 1910 he established Gallaudet Engineering Company to build planes under contract. In 1917 he reorganized as Gallaudet Aircraft Corporation which as its first product in 1918 mass produced Curtis floatplanes. In 1923 the firm was sold to Major Rueben Fleet and became part of Consolidated Aircraft. This promotional booklet describes the Gallaudet Chummy Flyabout Sport Model a two-seater powered by two 18 h.p. pusher-type motors. at the bargain price of $3500.

Two slight creases to the cover some toning; overall in fine condition.<br>The work was at least in part inspired by Bartók's unrequited love for the violinist Stefi Geyer - in a letter to her he called the first movement a "funeral dirge" and its opening notes trace a motif which first appeared in his Violin Concerto No. 1 a work dedicated to Geyer and suppressed by Bartók for many years. The intense contrapuntal writing of this movement is often compared to Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14 the opening movement of which is a slow fugue.<br style=""> Rózsavölgyi & Cie. unknown books
