A 16 page list of nuclear energy terminology from lessons on terminolgy, in Chinese characters and English. 21 x 17.5 cm. 2. A 4 page list of Chinese aeronautical terminogy marked "Secret" in a mixture of romanisations and English. 34 x 21.2cm. 3. A 4 p…age list of conversion tables for speeds and altitudes in kilometres, metres, feet and knots. Card wrapper chipped at fold, repaired with archival paper. All lists browned and creased, conversion tables half a page removed, where it states "Do not remove". 34 x 21.2cm. Text in English, traditional Chinese characters and romanisation. Some wear and browning, card folder torn and repaired. An interesting working collection. An intriguing undated collection relating to aeronautical training and the development of nuclear capabilities, most likely in Taiwan in the 1960s. The list of nuclear terminology refers to a 1948 glossary issued by the United Nations, and concludes with a short discussion relating to the organisation of bomber air wings titled 'New Rifle Section'. Said rifles are noted as "TSMG" - presumably Thompson submachine guns, though these would have most likely been deliberately phased out of the ROC's arsenal by the 1950s. Although the presence of English translations and Wade-Giles transcriptions seems to strongly lend preference to the collection's relation to the Kuomintang regime, the implicit connection between nuclear arms, air power, and anachronistic Tommy guns has clouded a more comprehensive understanding of the collection. A potential trove for a sufficiently motivated researcher.

The work is a remarkable attempt to set chemistry on a rational deductive basis. - The introduction in the second paper meets the main points raised by his critics."In 1866 the Royal Society began to publish Brodie?s "The Calculus of Chemical Operations" (Philosophical Transactions, 156 [1866], 781-859" 167 [1877], 35-116) which introduced Greek symbols for the chemical elements to replace the roman alphabet (Berzelian) symbols that contemporary chemists used to represent atomic weights. Brodie?s symbols, however, represented operations on space (volumes), not weights for, besides its revolutionary symbolism, the calculus also demanded an appreciation of George Boole?s algebraic logic, which Brodie had studied after the publication of Boole?s Investigation of the Laws of Thought in 1854. In this an equation such as y = xy is a symbolic statement that y is a subset of x in which the symbol x is an operator on y. Although professional mathematicians like William Donkin and Henry Smith later advised Brodie, it appears that he developed the system without professional help. The principal difficulty about the calculus for the present-day historian and philosopher of science is the need to explain it before going on to discuss it and the difficulty of giving any concise description of it. Boole had developed the concept of symbolic operators in algebraic analysis. These provided a code as to how the symbols were to be understood and manipulated. Brodie exploited this in the idea of a chemical operator, or chemical operations, that he symbolized by Greek letters. It is probably unwise, therefore, to interpret Brodie?s philosophy as analogous to Percy Bridgman?s later operationism. He proposed that if two substances with the empirically-derived weights, x and y combined to form a new compound with weight xy, then x + y = xy. From such weight equations he constructed a symbolic algebra that bypassed any atomistic interpretation."(William H. Brock in "Hyle Biography").

Cream-coloured litho-printed softcovers, w/ "Released for Publication _________" on lower front cover, dittoed notice at lower right corner of "Distributed by Technical Information Section of the Bureau of Aeronautics…," stapled at gutter margin as issued (minor soiling & spotting to front cover, minor rust to staples, minor bumping to corners, light scuff to fore-edge of textblock printed in multiple grades of paper as issued w/ some sections more toned than others), still a VG- copy, numbered in ink at lower right corner. First lithoprint edition, 3rd printing of 6000 total copies prepared by secretly lithoprinting in the Pentagon (NOT 1000 copies as previously posited by Coleman & others), in sections from modified dittoed versions which had been distributed under General Groves's orders to correct the master copies with eventually whole paragraphs deleted, or added in some chapters. This copy is entirely complete, with none of the often missing pages (especially p. VI-12), duplicates, or misbound signatures which often appear due to the speed and paper requirements, and also bears the colophon 25-56388-2M on page A5-1 at the rear, indicating this was one of those printed on the high-sulphide paper often bearing signatures of varying toning. As per Arnold Kramish (1923-2010), nuclear physicist who worked Oak Ridge, TN on the Manhattan Project, and at the behest of Harry Smyth, researched the printing history before 1985 of the original report, and determined that there were 2000 copies released initially past the dittoed and mimeograph versions to the press, and senior lab people. Due to early complaints of lack of access, another 2000 were released, followed by the much demanded 3rd release, all before Princeton University Press released their published print run less than 1 month later in 1945. The famed Smyth report, released to the public just after the United States had obliterated the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki using the first two atomic bombs at the end of World War II -- is "a remarkably full and candid account of the development work carried out. . . by the American-directed by internationally recruited team of physicists, under the code name of Manhattan District. . . ." The introduction opens with statement that "The purpose of this report is to describe the scientific and technical developments in this country since 1940 directed toward the military use of energy from Atomic nuclei." As an aside, it should be noted that Michael Zinman has the original Arnold Kramish TLS identifying the printing history, and an article is being prepared by Brett Tomlinson, noted historian of science.

With htitle and titlepage to vol. 126. Pp. 1059-1110. Curie's paper: pp. 1101-1103. Clean and fine. A punched stamp in lower margin of title-page. First printing of t…his milestone paper, being the first "Note" from Marie Curie about "radioactivity". This same "Note" contains a the fundamental observation: "Two uranium ores. are much more active than uranium itself. This fact. leads one to believe that these ores may contain an element much more active than uranium." This paper gives the first proof of the fact that radiation is an atomic property."Henri Becquerel, discovered (1896) that uranium salts shielded from light for several months spontaneously emit rays related in their effects to Roentgen rays. Mme. Curie became enthusiastic about this subject filled with the unknown and, as she later acknowledged, involving no bibliographic research.The first step in the research was to determine whether there existed other elements capable, like uranium, of emitting radiation. Abandoning the idea of hyperfluorescence, couldn?t one calculate by electrical measurement the effects on the conductivity of air that were revealed by the gold-leaf electroscope? Pierre Curie and his brother Jacques had constructed an extremely sensitive apparatus to measure weak currents" Mme. Curie employed it in testing both pure substances and various ores. In her first "Note" in the Comptes rendus"de l Académie des sciences (12 April 1898) she described the method that she followed throughout her life, the method that enabled her to make comparisons through time and crosschecks with other techniques:"I employed. a plate condenser, one of the plates being covered with a uniform layer of uranium or of another finely pulverized substance [(diameter of the plates, eight centimeters" distance between them, three centimeters). A potential difference of 100 volts was established between the plates.]. The current that traversed the condenser was measured in absolute value by means of an electrometer and a piezoelectric quartz. In general she preferred the zero method, in which the operator compensates for the current created by the active material by manipulating the quartz. All of her students followed this procedure."(DSB).The first results came in 1898: the measurements varied between 83 × 10-12 amperes for pitch blende to less than 0.3 × 10-12 for almost inactive salts, passing through 53 × 10-12 for thorium oxide and for chalcolite (double phosphate of uranium and copper). Thorium would thus be "radioactive" (the term is Mme. Curie?s" its radioactive properties were discovered at the same time, independently, by Schmidt in Germany.

Berthollet's paper: pp. 302-317, pp. 151-181, 221-252, pp. 3-29, 113-134…. Together with the memoir printed at the same time in "Mémoires de l'Institut." this is the first appearance of B's groundbreaking work on the nature of chemical affinity and the fact that many factors influence chemical reactions, comparing chemical affinity to the force of gravity. The paper was at the end of the year published separately.The theory set forth here "led directly to Prout's investigations which yielded a knowledge of definite chemical proportions and thus played a very importent part in preparing the way for the development of the Atomic Theory on which the whole modern chemistry is based."(Duveen, p. 75)."Berthollet read a memoir on the general theory of affinities while he was still in Egypt. This was the starting point of his complete new system of chemistry, first briefly sketched in Recherches sur les lois de l?affinité (1801) and later developed into the comprehensive, two volume Essai de statique chimique. Here he attempted to provide a proper basis for chemistry, so that its experimental results could be viewed in the light of theoretical first principles. Berthollet developed a theory and a model adequate for the understanding and the interpretation of the rapidly growing body of chemical knowledge in his time. He was aware that the positive work of constructing a new theory had yet to be performed after the shock of Lavoisier?s criticism of the old chemistry.(DSB).Parkinson "Breakthroughs", 1801 C.
