Erstausgabe
Frontispiece, vii, 78 pp; illustrations. Original cloth. Near Fine, in worn and torn dust jacket. This copy does NOT have any library markings. First Edition. COPY OF MARTIN J. KLEIN, with his signature. During his lifetime, Martin Klein was the leading scholar of the work of Josiah Willard Gibbs. Quoting from the biographical memoir of Martin Klein written for the National Academy of Sciences, of which Klein was a member: "Throughout the 1970s Klein's historical work expanded as he investigated the earlier development of thermodynamics while continuing to pursue the history of quantum mechanics. Two major papers during this period focused on Sadi Carnot s production of the cycle named after him and on the work of the Yale physicist J. Willard Gibbs, which Klein was among the first to examine in detail" (p. 8). Klein wrote the Dictionary of Scientific Biography article on Gibbs (Vol. V: 386-393). The book offered here contains: Gibbs, "On the Form of the Teeth of Wheels in Spur Gearing;"; E. O. Waters, "Commentary upon the Gibbs Monograph 'On the Form of the Teeth of Wheels in Spur Gearing';" S. W. Dudley, "An Improved Railway Car Brake"; L. P. Wheeler, "The Gibbs Governor for Steam Engines". NOTE: You can buy other copies for lower prices (including other copies from me), but this copy has a very special provenance.
