Añadir al carritoSoft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Carbon copy of a significant work in the history of medicine and sociology. 11 x 8.5" , 141 (thin, onion-skin-type) leaves. Bound with brass punches/clasps, and bound in a heavier brown paper. The exterior binding (with a hand-made/typed title) has some significant chips, and the sp…ine covering is nearly gone. That said, the interior is at least Very Good. From the Library of Congress, with their surplus/duplicate stamp on the back of the front cover, and with no other markins except the pencil noe regarding the source of the document, which was from Douglas C. McMurtrie, who was on the 14-person committee (and who was a famous graphic design/typographer). This copy and the published version present the same exact contents. **"This survey was inaugurated by the representatives of 41 organizations, associations, and hospitals in Greater New York engaged in work for cripples, at a conference on April 4, 1919, which was the result of the efforts of the New York Committee on After Care of Infantile Paralysis Cases. The expenses were met by contributions from certain of these agencies and a liberal gift from the Rockefeller Foundation. The responsibility for the after care of the survivors of the 1916 Infantile Paralysis epidemic in New York City has since that time been vested in the above named Committee, representing all the agencies interested in these children. This Committee had provided a system of follow-up, including necessary financing, transportation, home care, etc., which proved so beneficial in its results on the thousands of cases recorded that the committee early in 1919 resolved to learn whether all the city's needy cripples were being cared for, and if not, to what extent the need was unmet."--description from Forgotten Books website.

Añadir al carritoNo Binding. Condición: Very Good. First Publication on Solving the Franklin Cipher BERKEL, Ernest. The Benjamin Franklin Cipher. "Deciphered August 8, 1935, by Ernest Berkel, Mt. Clemens, Mi." 11"x 8.5", 4 leaves. CARBON COPY. Here Berkel claims to have discovered the cipher source for the Franklin cipher he evidently did not di…scover the French text on which the cipher was based, but rather stole the credit for the discovery by the great William (Wolf) Friedman. Stapled leaves. Provenance: this was a gift from Berkel to the Library of Congress. The Birkel gift is annotated by a contemporary Librarian's hand; there is a small (10mm) perforated "LC" in the front cover and a LC rubber stamp on the rear page. GOOD copy, with dusting and an old horizontal fold shadow at center. Rare. [++] It is reported in Betsy Rohauly Smoot's book, "Parker Hitt: the Father of American Cryptology" (p 177) that Berkel had worked on the famous cipher for five years and then used a connection of his with the US Army Signal Office who ordered the preeminent William Friedman to solve the cipher, which he evidently did. According to Smoot, Berkel "publicly took credit for Friedman's work". Berkel published "his" findings in the December 1935 issue of Cryptogram (the journal of the American Cryptogram Association). According to WorldCat this article ran on pp 1, 2, and 5, which makes it about the length of the paper being offered here. I suspect that this and the published account are the same piece of writing. NO COPIES of this work are found in WorldCat. [++] ("William Frederick Friedman (1891 1969) was a US Army cryptographer who ran the research division of the Army's Signal Intelligence Service (SIS) in the 1930s, and parts of its follow-on services into the 1950s. In 1940, subordinates of his led by Frank Rowlett broke Japan's PURPLE cipher, thus disclosing Japanese diplomatic secrets before America's entrance into World War II."--Wikipedia According to another source Friedman was chief cryptanalyst for the War Department and led the SIS for 25 years. I can find very little on Mr. Berkel. Oddly enough, the Berkel paper uses a paper with the federal watermark of the American Eagle so at least the paper he used was from the U.S. Government, which may or may not mean that Berkel was a federal employee.

Añadir al carritoNo Binding. Condición: Very Good. [Mathematical Computing Advisory Panel (MCAP).] Office of Naval Research (ONR)]. "Interim Report of the Mathematical Computing Advisory Panel on Automatic Digital Computers. [1954] Carbon copy on onion-skin paper. Stapled with a single staple. The first sheet really wants to rid itself of that s…taple. No individual authors or members of the MCAP are named. 11"x 8.5", 11 numbered sheets, 2 additional leaves with tables 1 and 2. There are a few short tears and chips, plus a dog-ear here and there, otherwise this document is in near-Fine condition. Historically members of the panel of MCAP have been absolutely stellar, including John Curtiss (NBS), Douglas Hartree, George Stibitz, Richard Hamming, George W. Patterson (ONR), Herman Goldstine, John von Neumann, and others. [++] Of note here is that there is mention of Tables 3, 4 and 5 in the text but the document only has tables 1 and 2. There is no evidence that the 3 leaves of additional tables were part of this document. [++] There are NO mentions of any report by this title on Google and nothing at all in WorldCat, which is a little surprising. [++] Note 1. I qualified "internal" with a question mark as this document obviously doesn't have the physical capacity to withstand general circulation, being a carbon copy on a filmy/onion-skin-like paper. That said, I have no authority to say that it absolutely wasn't. I'm 99% certain though that this was not meant for general circulation. Note 2. Best guess here for a date comes from bits of chronology in the document, the chief clue to the upper-end of the date of production being a mention of a machine due to be delivered in 1954. The date I reckon is 1953 or 1954, guessing very safely at 1954.
