[Whole volume: viii, 1272 pp. 22 plates (Numbered Taf. I-XXII. Taf. I-IX: b/w/ silver photos; Taf. XI w/ one b/w silver photo; Taf. XII is folding and XIII, XIV are b/w silver photos; Taf. XV and XVI are large folding tables; Taf. XVII, XVIII, XIX b/w/ silv.photos; and Taf.XX--XXII are photographs of X-ray images). Figs. Text-illust. (210 x 140 mm). Red cloth, gilt lettering on spine. Very good. Along the margin of p. 802, written in pencil are the words: "Mallock R.S. 1910", probably written in Lord Rayleigh's hand, most likely in reference to the title "The dampening of sound by frothy liquids" by A. Mallock, in Proc. R.S. (Lond) ser. A, vol. 84: 391-94. London, 1911.
A.D. Fokker (1887-1972) was a Dutch physicist and cousin to aeronautical engineer Anthony Fokker (1890-1939). He was musically inclined, having invented the 31EDO pipe organ. He earned his doctorate in 1913, continuing his studies with Albert Einstein, Ernest Rutheford (1871-1937), and William Bragg (1862-1942). In his 1913 thesis he derived the Fokker-Planck equation with Max Planck (1858-1947). Fokker made contributions to special relativity and general relativity, particularly the effects of the curvature of space-time (formally called "geodetic precession"). (Wikipedia).
