V-2 rockets... man made meteorites...



Item # 628175

November 14, 1946

THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 14, 1946

* V-2 rockets test
* Man-made meteorites
* Upper atmosphere


Page 4 has a two column heading: "Rocket Will Discharge Swarm of Meteorites In Attempt to Gauge Size of Real Fragments" See images for text. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 60 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Minor spine wear, otherwise in very nice condition.
