1,025 pages. "Includes papers on a variety of topics, especially aeronautics. Early work of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics on aircraft stability and control appears in the first section and is followed by original contributions in airfoil theory, including theories of sweptback and slender airfoils. Several papers are devoted to the theory of minimum drag and to the theory of the oblique wing. Papers on geometrical optics appear next. Perhaps the most significant of these is the design of a fast (F/.66) monochromatic lens based on an inversion of the Schmidt arrangement. Several papers based on work of Avco-Everett Research Laboratory on cardiac assist devices are included and show elementary applications of fluid dynamics to the design of blood pumps and in particular the intra-aortic baloon pump. The last section presents some simple heuristic techniques in relatistic kinematics - based on conformal coordinates in two dimensions. Here the application to space-like motions provide an interesting duality with einsteinian kinematics." - from Abstract. Above-average but not excessive wear. Binding intact. Unmarked.

24185No date or place. Royal Military College Sandhurst; late 1880s. The present item is excessively scarce: there is no record of it on either OCLC WorldCat or JISC. The Staff College Drag Hunt at the Royal Military College Sandhurst was established in 1869 as a private pack which drag-hunted twice a week in the area surrounding Camberley and after more than a hundred and fifty years the hunt still rides. 1p 12mo. Text enclosed in rules with decorative corners. In fair condition lightly worn and spotted with traces of stub and mounting on blank reverse. Titled: ‘The Staff College Drag Hunt Song. / By Major M. Churchill 2/Northampton Regiment / Master S.C.D.H. 1885-86 / Music from Mr. F. Cotton’s “Forty Minutes.†’ Seven numbered four-line stanzas and the following chorus: ‘Then let us drink drag-hunting boys and pass the bottle round / Drink to the horse the fox of course a bumper to the hound; / And let us toast our farmers as a right good jolly sort / When you haven’t time for hunting then the Drag is rattling sport.’ First stanza: ‘The gallant steed by nature made companion for the hound / Will give us great enjoyment as o’er the fields we bound; / There’s nothing like fox-hunting and some might say the stag / But when you can’t get either then there’s nothing like the Drag.’ The fourth stanza notes that ‘many a Staff aspirant has saluted mother earth’. There are also references to the Staff College Tangley Park and Easthampstead Park. The final stanza gives a toast to ‘our Secretary’s health’ as ‘He’s the proper sort of fellow to instruct the R. M. C.’ See image No date or place. [Royal Military College, Sandhurst; late 1880s.] unknown

Apparatus. A few faint brownspots to titlepage otherwise clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this classic paper which announced one of the most celebrated experiments in the history of physics and eventually led Einstein to his Relativity Theory.The experiment was expected to show the rate of the earth's movement through the ether; they looked in vain for a difference between the speed of light in the direction of the earth's motion around the sun and the direction perpendicular to it. The failure of this experiment was a serious blow to classical scientific theories because it cast doubts on the existance of the universal ether which had been a basic principleof for example the Newtonian theories of the universe. Vide PMM: 378 401 408.The paper appeared first in the "American Journal of Science" in November as offered here and was published a month later in "Philosophical Magazine" in a slightly modified form."Michelson trained at the U.S. Naval Academy and Morley minister turned chemist began a series of experiments to determine the relation of ether drift and the velocity of light effects of extremely minute values. They used a slightly silvered glass set angular to a ray of sunlight so that a part ofthe ray was transmitted a part reflected out and again returned thereby providing two paths one perpendicular to the other. If drift existed the superimposed rays would produce interference. None was observed showing that the earth's motion did not affect the light's speed. The negative result held revolutionary implications which led directly thru Lorentz and Einstein to the acceptance of new standards of reference of time and space from geometry and cosmometry."DibnerIn 1919 Einstein met Michelson in California. At a dinner given in honor of them both Einstein said in a speech "You Michelson uncovered an insidious defect in the ether theory of light as it existed and stimulated the ideas of H.A. Lorentz and Fitzgerald out of which the Special Theory of Relativity developed. Without your work this theory would today be scarcely more than an interesting speculation." In an interview in 1842 Einstein said: "It is no doubt that Michelson's experiment was of considerably influence upon my work insofar as it strengthened my conviction concerning the validity of the Principle of relativity.On the other side I was pretty much convinced of the validity of the principle before I did know this experiment and its result. In any case Michelson's experiment removed practically any doubt about the validity of the principle in optics and showed that a profound change of the basic concepts of physics was inevitable."Michelson was awarded the 1907 Nobel Prize "for his optical precision instrument the inteferometer and the spectroscopic and metrological investigations he has carried on."Dibner: Heralds of Science: 161 lising the later version from "Philosophical Magazine" - Norman 1505.- Magee "A Source Book in Physics" pp. 369 ff. the later paper.The volume contains another paper by Michelson and Morley "On a method of Making the Wave-lenght of Sodium Light the actual and practical Standard of Lenght" pp. 427-430. </em> unknown
