Wraps. Condition: Good. Prepriint Presumed first printing thus. [1], 4 pages. Illustrations. This paper was prepared for submission to the Thirteenth Pulse Power Symposium in Buffalo, NY, June 19-22, 1978. Stapled at upper left corner. Results were to be presented on the design and testing of a pressurized gas blown spark gap switch capable of high repetition rates in a burst mode of operation. The switch parameters which had been achieved were as follows: 220-KV, 42-kA, a five pulse burst at 1-kHz, 12-ns risetime, 2-ns jitter at a pulse width of 50-ns. The construction of the coaxial spark gap is illustrated in Figure 1. The spark gap bolts on to the lower end of a 5.2 coaxial water Blumlein and was designed to switch the mid conductor to ground. The Blumlein's mid conductor feeds through a polycarbonate resin insulator which interfaced between the water and the high pressure gas and become the switch's anode. From Wikipedia: A spark gap consists of an arrangement of two conducting electrodes separated by a gap usually filled with a gas such as air, designed to allow an electric spark to pass between the conductors. When the potential difference between the conductors exceeds the breakdown voltage of the gas within the gap, a spark forms, ionizing the gas and drastically reducing its electrical resistance. An electric current then flows until the path of ionized gas is broken or the current reduces below a minimum value called the "holding current". This usually happens when the voltage drops, but in some cases occurs when the heated gas rises, stretching out and then breaking the filament of ionized gas. Usually, the action of ionizing the gas is violent and disruptive, often leading to sound (ranging from a snap for a spark plug to thunder for a lightning discharge), light and heat.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. L. S. Haywood. Grace Lodge, Mathew Mole, etc. (illustrator). 1st Edition. 5 Issues of this Children's Monthly magazine containing the FIRST 5 stories of Norman Hunter's "Professor Branestawm" not published in book form until 1933. These include; April: The Professor Invents a Machine. May: The Wild Waste-Paper. July: The Professor Borrows a Book. Sept: Burglars! Oct: The Screaming Clocks. These appear as numbers 1-5 with later issues having the odd short story by him as do the earlier issues, but no more for this character. As they were printed with gaps yet run consecutively they were published as intended as he finished them. The magazines are quarto size with printed covers by David Hutton, they have other tales and activity pages with an emphasis on traditional tales for children of a more middle-class family. A serial by Norah Francis Caulfield "The Sword of Adventure" in each issue + Agnes Hart, Agnes Frome, Hilda Finnemore, E. S. Thomas, Harold Black continues with his stories of "The Gnomes and Bloggs" in several and the editor himself Hugh Chesterman amongst others. Illustrations by Marjorie Dawes, Audrey Teago, Dorothy Furniss and others. Covers have soma age toning and or dust lines, one has a quarter page advert for the magazine annual cut out but all remain very good internally and near VG on covers. Each has about 40 pages in covers with adverts at the front and sometimes at the back also. Quarto. 1929. NOTE: This lead title of tales by Norman Hunter has no mention in ANY bibliographical information I could find of these stories appearing before 1933 and elaborate that they were taken from BBC broadcasts, or also used by the BBC at the same time the books was released with illustrations by William Heath Robinson in 1933. The magazine had a sister annual "Joy Street" issued yearly BUT with none of these tales being used in the books, they appear here only. The Annual was published by Basil Blackwell and was edited by Hugh Chesterman for over 10 years with each annual being numbered from Number 1 onwards.(Please contact us for further information).
