VG. In plastic report covers. "The Astrophysical Observatory of the Smithsonian Institution is the child of S.P. Langley, third Secretary of the Institution. Owing to his very keen interest in the sun's radiation, he had invented the bolometer about 1878, and about 1890 equipped it with photographic registration. His studies of the solar and lunar energy spectra were made not only at the Allegheny Observatory, but also at the summit of Mount Whitney, Calif., where he conducted an expedition to measure the amount of solar radiation.".
