for the entire cost of the system inlittle more than 6 months.

Finally, for laboratories whosesample load does not exceed 500 permonth, there's an even more economicalway to automate data handling. Byadding a hardware-plus-softwareoption to your 3370A Integrator, youcan automatically produce acomputer-compatible punched papertape record of integration data. Youthen feed the ptunched paper tapeoff-line to any of the principaltinme-share computers, using the BASIClanguage program provided, andautomatically receive a complete reportof the analysis, as with the 3360A.This cuts some 17 minutes ofcomputation time per sample (inaddition to the 10-minute reductionfrom the 3370A proper) . . . or asavings of some $1400 monthly basedon a 500-sample load. Considering allcosts-the $1550 cost for the 3370Aoption and the variable costs of thetime-share computer lease-payouttakes less than six months.

New tool for on-linecontrol system analysis(Note: To our Scientist Readers: Thesubject of the following article is a newinstrument for continuous signalanalysis that is useful in medicalresearch, acoustics, radio astronomyand many other scientific measurementsas well as in the process controlapplication described.)

Very recently at a large power stationin England, a system analysis of anattemperator (temperature control)loop was completed on-line, withoutdisturbing plant output in any way. Asthe control characteristic of the loopwas displayed on a screen during theexperiment, adjustments were made tooptimize control system response andthe results were displayed immediately.The job of the control system

engineer-to predict how the systemwill react to a given input pulse hasnot always been so easy. If he testedthe system with a large enough impulseto produce a measurable response,plant output was changed in a way thatcould not be tolerated.Some progress was made when

control system analysts discovered thepower of cross-correlation. With thismathematical technique, a test noisesignal is applied to system input at sucha low level that system output is notchanged beyond normal backgrounddisturbances. Yet by cross-correlating

the test noise with system output overa relatively short period, the engineeris able to extract the impulse responseof the system; background disturbancesdo not interfere because they areuncorrelated with the test noise. Atfirst, cross-correlation did not helpbecause it could only be accomplishedafter the fact, through off-line digitalcomputation. What made the differencein the English experiment was theavailability of two new HP instruments:a Alodel 3721A on-line correlatorthat's about as easy to use as anoscilloscope, and a Model 3722Aprecision noise generator thatsynthesizes repeatable pseudo-randomnoise, ideally suited to system analysis.

Correlation is fundamentally anaveraging technique that is a powerfultool in recovering all kinds of periodicsignals that are buried in noise, and inestablishing a relationship betweenapparently unrelated signals. With the3721 A, the technique is easily appliedonz-lize for continuous signal analysis inmany kinds of scientific measurements.It might be useful in your work too.The Correlator costs $8325 and theNoise Generator $2650. On request,we'll be glad to send you a packet ofinformation on these two instrumentsand a 96-page booklet on DiscreteSignal Analysis.

Acquire and reduce scientificmeasurements automatically...without a computerIf you're a typical scientist, you spenda lot of time on the bench makingmeasurements ... and you don't objectto that at all. What you do mind is theever-increasing amount of time thatyou must spend at the desk making the

calculations that turn raw measurementsinto useful information. Some scientistsstill rely on slide rule and addingmachine for this work; some haveacquired a 9100 Computing Calculatorand, in one economical stroke, cut theircomputational load by half or more.

If you're in the second group, we'dlike to tell you of a new way to liberateeven more of your time for scientificinvestigation, by letting your datagathering instruments communicatedirectly with a data processing system.You might think that this willnecessarily involve you in the cost andcomplexity of a computer.Not so. With the new HP 2570

Coupler/Controller, you can now tiemany measuring instruments to the9100 and get reduced data directly ...from more than 40 HP digitalinstruments including voltmeters,frequency and time couinters, nuclearscalers, quartz thermometers andGC integrators.You can even connect a teleprinter

to the 2570 and get a complete report

of your experiment, formatted as youlike it and prepared automatically on atypewritten sheet, punched paper tapeor even on the calculator's X-Y plotter.We'd be happy to send you a

24-page bulletin that explains how the2570 can expand the capabilities ofyour 9100 for on-line data handlingand even for automatic test systems.Write for "Calculator-BasedInstrumentation Systems." Price ofthe Coupler is only $1625. Interfacescost $450-$1775 per device.Hewlett-Packard, 1507 Page Mill Road,Palo Alto, California 94304.In Europe: 1217 Meyrin-Geneva,Switzerland.

rather than social circumscription, wascertainly a critical precondition inPolynesia, and probably in some of theearliest Mediterranean states as well.

CHARLES DEB. HASELTINE3045 Idlewild Drive, Reno, Nevada

I do not see how Haseltine canmaintain that nonhuman transport wasan indispensable factor in the rise ofthe state. The several states that aroseaboriginally in Mesoamerica relied onhuman transport, as Haseltine admits.And if these states developed withoutmechanical transport, why couldn'tothers have done so? In fact, theydid. As examples one can cite the nu-merous native states of tropical Africa.Mechanical transport undoubtedly facil-itated the rise and growth of states.However, though a useful adjunct tostate formation, it certainly was not aprerequisite.Dolan asks how I distinguish a com-

munity from a state. As I use the termin my article, a community is an auton-omous village. A state arises whenmany such communities are aggregatedinto a political unit having the powerto tax, to draft men, and to decree laws.Dolan believes that communities hadthese powers before they became partsof a larger political unit. If his defini-tion of a community is the same asmine, then he is mistaken. If he willexamine the vast ethnographic litera-ture dealing with autonomous agricul-tural villages-the type of communitywith which my reconstruction of polit-ical evolution begins-he will find thatthey lack taxation, conscription, anddecreed laws. The power to carry outthese functions arises only with supra-community aggregation resulting fromcontinued and successful participationin war.

Dolan also asks how my theoryhandles "the ongoing evolution of po-litical organization" beyond the attain-ment of minimal states. My theory isnot essentially concerned with this prob-lem. I have tried to explain how thestate arose in the first place. How itcontinued to evolve once it hademerged is a rather different problem.Certainly warfare and conquest stillplayed a large role in this later evolu-tion, but there was more to it thanthat. However, it is a separate issuewhich my theory is not obliged to ex-plain.

votes, and it will be surprising if thenew proposals receive a substantiallyhigher percentage. The real aim of thecampaign, however, is not to winproxy fights but to influence publicopinion-especially by obtaining sup-port from prestigious institutionalshareholders such as Harvard, M.I.T.,Yale, Columbia, and Stanford. Noneof these institutions actually endorsedCampaign GM's last proposals, butseveral institutions sent letters to Gen-eral Motors urging greater attention to"corporate responsibility" issues suchas air pollution and traffic safety.

Also, some major institutions, in-cluding Harvard and Columbia, under-took studies of -their relations with cor-

porate enterprise. At Harvard, RobertW. Austin of the Business School isheading such an inquiry, a study de-scribed by President Nathan M. Puseyas comparable to Harvard's 1961 studyof its relations with the federal govern-

ment. Moreover, students and facultyat business schools at Harvard, Stan-ford, the University of Pennsylvania,and other institutions have become in-creasingly concerned with questions ofcorporate responsibility. Leaders ofCampaign GM find this to be encour-aging. "I don't expect to see the 'green-ing' of James Roche [GM's board chair-man]," says Joseph N. Onek, one ofthe campaign coordinators. "But I doexpect to see the greening of someJames Roches of the future."As the world's largest corporation,

GM makes a symbolic target for thecorporate responsibility movement andthe company finds itself under growingpressure. This was evident last Augustwhen GM announced that it was estab-lishing a new public policy committee,although the persons appointed to thiscommitee-made up of five members ofthe board of directors-included no

outsiders who might make trouble.The possibility now arises that Gen-

eral Motors and other large companieswill in time be required by law to gov-

ern themselves more democratically.In June, Senator Edmund S. Muskieof Maine, the front-runner for the Dem-ocratic nomination for President in1972, introduced a measure called the"Corporate Participation Act." As now

drafted, the bill may deal with a moot

question, for it is concerned with situ-ations of the kind that arose in a case

decided in July by the U.S. CircuitCourt of Appeals for the District ofColumbia.

In that case, the Medical Commit-tee for Human Rights sued the Securi-

27 NOVEMBER 1970

ties and Exchange Commission (SEC)demanding that Dow Chemical Com-pany be required to include in its proxystatement a proposal for the companyto stop manufacturing napalm. TheSEC, which last spring also had allowedGeneral Motors to omit several Cam-paign GM proposals from its proxystatement, apparently had acceptedDow's argument that the napalm pro-posal was one promoted simply for"general political and social reasons."The court, however, ruled in the Medi-cal Committee's favor and observed:" . . . there is a clear and compellingdistinction between management's le-gitimate need for freedom to applyits expertise in matters of day-to-daybusiness judgment, and management'spatently illegitimate claim of powersto treat modern corporations with theirvast resources as personal satrapiesimplementing political or moral predi-lections."

Muskie's staff is now consideringwhat new steps might be appropriate toexpand the concept of corporate par-ticipation. In this regard, the latestCampaign GM formulations are to re-ceive careful attention.

quently avoided at the outset in orderto bring out the physical differencesbetween limiting cases. Thus, the sep-arate treatment of double injection intoinsulators and semiconductors is verywelcome. Attention is also paid to therole of contacts and current-flow geom-etry. The experimental data in the fieldare well covered, and the breakdowninto different materials is very wel-come. Of particular interest in connec-tion with double-injection phenomenais the frequent occurrence of current-controlled negative resistance charac-teristics. The authors give the theoryof such a mechanism, brought aboutby the combination of double-injectionand trapping effects, but they also giveexamples of other mechanisms that canproduce a negative resistance. A mildcriticism of this part of the book is thatrather brief attention is paid to thequestion of current filament formation,which, according to some authors, al-ways sets in when such a negativeresistance device is switched from itshigh voltage threshold to its low volt-age state.As a reviewer who is not a specialist

in the field but has some familiaritywith the subject I found the book veryinstructive and useful, and can highlyrecommend it to a broad audience ofsemiconductor scientists.

Chemical AnalysisTopics in Organic Mass Spectrometry.A. L. BURLINGAME, Ed. Wiley-Interscience,New York, 1970. xii, 472 pp., illus.$22.50. Advances in Analytical Chemistryand Instrumentation, vol. 8.

The goal of the editor of this volumeis to assess current areas of active re-search in mass spectrometry, a taskthat is exceedingly difficult because ofthe rapid progress that is being madein this field. The latest reference Ifound in this book was 1968, and onechapter's most recent reference was1965. Thus, I feel that the editor hasnot achieved his goal. The time lag isvery apparent in the chapter on com-bined gas-liquid chromatography andmass spectrometry, where the authorsclaim that in the time-of-flight massspectrometer differential pumping be-tween the ion source and the drift tube27 NOVEMBER 1970

is not possible and that there are nodata available regarding the perform-ance of gas chromatographs coupled toquadrupole mass spectrometers.On the positive side, the editor has

assembled an impressive array of au-thorities on various aspects of massspectrometry, and the book achieves agood balance between the principlesand the applications of mass spectrom-etry.The first chapter is an excellent dis-

cussion of the various methods of ioni-zation employed in the study of organicmaterials. The authors (Becky andComes) have presented a readable ac-count of the strong and weak points ofthe various approaches to ionization,particularly field ionization. I hadhoped that this chapter would devotemore discussion to comparison of fieldand chemical ionization than to com-parison of field and electron-impactionization. The former pair is em-ployed by many more organic chemiststo obtain the same type of information(identity of the molecular-weight orquasi-molecular-weight ion) than thelatter pair.The second chapter, by la Lau, pro-

vides an excellent discussion of somefactors of which many organic chem-ists using mass spectrometers are un-aware, namely, discrimination at theelectron multiplier. On page 109 laLau appears to have mixed his usageof the symbols Yr and Yri. The chapterby Harrison presents an interestingapproach to fragment ion structures-the use of ion energetics. I take issuewith Harrison on several points, how-ever. First, the statement on page 125that appearance potentials are identi-fied with enthalpy changes (AH) doesnot make clear to a novice the assump-tions employed when appearance po-tentials are used as heats of reaction.The appearance potential is defined asAE, and since A(PV) can be assumednegligible for these gas phase reactions,appearance potentials may be assumedequal to heats of reaction. Also, it isassumed in the use of the tabulatedstandard heats that AH is essentiallytemperature-independent. Many ionsources are operated at elevated tem-peratures (250°C), but the tabulatedAH values are given for 25°C. Second,Harrison discusses, on page 139, theneed to know the path of the ionicreaction for the determination of theionic heat of formation. When one isusing appearance potentials as heatsof reaction, only the identity of theoriginal compound and products, both

ionic and neutral, and their heats offormation are required to determinethe heat of formation of an ion. Thechapters by Bieman, McLafferty, Mac-Fadden and Buttery, and Schnoes andBurlingame give excellent accounts ofresearch in the various areas of organicmass spectrometry and are to be rec-ommended.

This volume is readable, althoughnot too current, and would be of useto a chemist not engaged in mass spec-trometry research.
