BIRTH OF RADIO ASTRONOMY - December 1932 Original Jansky Paper + More… Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers, Volume 20, January - December 1932 (HARDCOVER Case, 12 Magazine issues complete 1932) • Chairman of Board of Editors: Alfred N. Goldsmith • Publication Office Manager and Institute Secretary Harold P. Westman • Publisher: The Institute of Radio Engineers, Inc. Menasha, WI U.S.A. 1932 20th anniversary (1932, Volume 20) collection of the 12 monthly Proceedings magazine for the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE), plus the 1932 yearbook of membership, bound in a hardcover binder. Each magazine contains information about both national & local IRE activities, meetings, government regulation affecting members, as well as around a dozen technical papers per month, literature reviews and over 20 pages monthly of manufacturer advertisements. This set is historically significant because a technical paper written by a young Bell Lab engineer working in Holmdel NJ established the birth of RADIO ASTRONOMY. The December, 1932 magazine is the 1st edition of this article, "Directional Studies of Atmospherics at High Frequencies" by Karl G. Jansky. Directional Studies of Atmospherics at High Frequencies by Karl G. Jansky, pp.1920-1932 In Proceedings of the IRE, vol.20, no.12 (Dec.1932) THE BIRTH OF RADIO ASTRONOMY "Working at Bell Labs, (Karl G.) Jansky was given the task of investigating factors that could interfere with radio waves used for long-distance communication. He designed a linear directional antenna, which, mounted on wheels from a Model T Ford, could scan the sky. He identified all the sources of interference, such as thunderstorms, except for one weak emission. This he found to be unconnected with the Sun and in 1931 he discovered that the radio interference came from the stars. Jansky published his findings in the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers in December 1932 ['Directional Studies of Atmospherics at High Frequencies'], the date that marks precisely the beginnings of radio astronomy" (Biographical Encyclopedia of Scientists). The collection contains 155 original papers, lists members and the applicants for IRE membershio during 1932 with demographic information, lists both local and international conventions and several hundred ads for appliances and equipment used in the industry. Each complete monthly magazine is bound separately as a softcover with glue and stapled binding. Hardcover binder holds each magazine into place with metal bands into metal braces. Binder is embossed with faded gold highlights. We found it stored in an outbuilding so has been cleaned and pages are aged, with some bookworm markings, and somewhat brittle. Authentic Antique. • Size: 4to – over 9¾” - 12” tall, 2,704pp. • Condition: Good, complete set of 13 magazines in a Custom Hardcover Binder. 1st Edition, although no edition or print run info stated for collection as a whole. Seminal paper establishing Radio Astronomy in December issue. Prior owner signature on cover of some magazines adds no value. Authentic Antique. No ISBN, ISSN, LCCN nor MSR. How science advances through intelligent use of new technology. Thanks for looking.…
