Blind-stamp of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. Fine. FIRST EDITION. "For the light elements Meitner and Hupfeld found Klein-Nishina in excellent agreement with experiment much better than the older formula." Sime. "In October Klein and Yoshio Nishina completed their theory of Compton scattering based on the Dirac equation. But experimental information was not yet precise enough nor had cosmic ray phenomena been sufficiently understood to make clear at once that the Klein-Nishina formula ranks with Dirac's results earlier in the year as one of the great early successes of the new theory.
