Description from the seller
Exceptional Provenance: Personal Library of Space Engineer Pierre J. Bartholomé (ESRO / ESA)
General Description
A remarkable and exceptionally rare set of 7 institutional bound volumes from the prestigious American journal Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE), spanning the golden age of telecommunications, nascent computing, and space exploration (1959–1962).
This lot holds unique bibliophilic and historical interest due to its provenance. The set belonged personally to Pierre J. Bartholomé, a renowned Belgian researcher and engineer, European pioneer of satellite telecommunications with ESRO (now the European Space Agency - ESA). The engineer’s initials ("P.J.B") are stamped in gold on the bottom of each spine, and his official ownership stamp is discreetly affixed to the upper right of the first pages.
The volumes contain world-referenced articles that helped shape modern technology:
• Space Physics & Meteorology (1959): Contains D. K. Bailey’s foundational article on the abnormal ionization of the lower ionosphere, the first work to theorize polar cap absorption (PCA) following the historic solar flare of 1956.
• History of Computing (Early Computing): Contains the historical reference article "The Design of the IBM Type 702 System" co-authored by IBM’s pioneering engineers (C. J. Bashe, P. W. Jackson, H. A. Mussell, and W. D. Winger) detailing the architecture and the cathode-ray tube memory of IBM’s very first commercial computer.
• Mythic Anniversary Issue (May 1962 – Vol. 50, No. 5): The jewel of the lot. A massive commemorative issue compiling invited and forward-looking articles written by the world’s leading scientific minds (edited by its esteemed editor Alfred N. Goldsmith) anticipating technologies for the year 2012 in aerospace, lasers, computers, and biomedicine.
