Soft cover. Zustand: Good. **An Important Paper in the History of Mechanical Flight (1891)** Samuel P. Langley, "Recherches expérimentales aérodynamiques et données d'expérience" ("Aerodynamic experimental research and experimental data" or thereabouts) in Comptes Rendus de l'Academie des Sciences, Paris, 1891, vol 113 Paris, pp. 59-63. Extracted from a larger bound volume. Good condition. Brockett 1910 # 7180 Sections of the article translated: "I have been led to undertake investigations closely connected with the subject of mechanical flight, the results of which seem to me worthy of attention, and which will soon be published in detail in a memoir. I wish here to state the principal conclusions. "In this memoir I do not claim to teach an art of mechanical flight, but to demonstrate that, with motors of the weight of those that are constructed at present, we already possess the power necessary to sustain in the air, with very rapid motion, heavy bodies—for example inclined planes more than a thousand times denser than the element in which they move." "Moreover, these experiments, as well as the theory when reconsidered from their point of view, show that if, in aerial motion, we have a plane of given dimensions and weight inclined at such angles and moved at such speeds that it is exactly sustained in horizontal flight, then the greater the speed becomes, the smaller the force necessary to sustain it." "From this it follows that if a plane of fixed dimensions and weight can be kept in horizontal flight at a certain speed by means of a given motive power, an increase of speed will diminish the effort required for its support in the air, although the resistance due to the air will at the same time increase." "These results appear to me of considerable importance for the theory of mechanical flight, because they show that the principal difficulty does not lie in the possibility of sustaining heavy bodies in the air, but rather in the construction of machines capable of attaining and maintaining sufficiently great velocities.". …

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. ++BELL. Alexander Graham. AND J. Willard Gibbs, and S.P. Langley, and A.A. Michelson. ++ Bell: "Upon the Electrical Experiments to determine the location of the Bullet in the body of the late President Garfield; and upon a successful form of Induction Balance for the painless detection of Metallic Masses in the Human Body," found in "American Journal of Science and the Arts," New Haven, pp 22-61 (a long article for the AJSA), along with 31 text illustrations, volume 23, 1883. offered in the full volume of 488pp (with 5 folding plates). Newly and very tastefully rebound in calf-backed marbled boards. The text is in VG+ condition. PROVENANCE: there is an interesting collection and rich lineage of ex-libris rubber stamps on the title page, including an ownership stamp of the Carl Zeiss library in Jena (see pic). [++] Also in this volume: A.A. Michelson, "A Method for Determining the Rate of Tuning Forks", pp 61-64. [AND WITH] J. Willard Gibbs, "Notes on the Electromagnetic Theory of Light. No. III, On the General Equations of Monochromatic Light in Media of Every Degree of Transparency", pp 107-114. [AND WITH] S.P. LANGLEY, "The Selective Absorption of Solar Energy", pp 169-196. [++] The first paper here is a long one by Bell on a rather famous attempt/experiment modifying his telephone in attempting to explore for the bullet in the mortally-wounded U.S. President James Garfield (who was shot by an assassin in July 1881). This was a very well-documented and public event that was followed in popular magazines, and yet there are scant references to this paper that I have been able to locate. At the time the paper was submitted, Garfield was still alive, though by the time of publication he would be dead, succumbing 79 days after the assassination attempt. Bell made several attempts to locate the projectile but was unsuccessful. That said, this was a major application of his "telephonic" device to non-invasively locate metal objects in patients in the pre-X-ray period. As a piece of trivia I should note that the device was developed at Bell's Volta Bureau, which was only two blocks away from my store back in my old Georgetown (DC) days. [++] There were earlier treatments on this event, though none that I can find come anywhere close to thorough description (with additions and improvements) that we see here. (For example, there was a one-page summation of the event--"Probing by Electricity"-- that appeared in "Nature, an Illustrated Weekly Journal of Science", London, 10 November 1881, vol 25 no. 628, page 40.).…
