I've tried to track down articles from that era on Google books with pretty
good success.  Since most of the scanning is automated, sometimes there can
be a mistake in the conversion from print text to digital text.  Therefore,
seeing if you can find that volume in Google books, or other volumes close
to it in time will help narrow down how the find the article you are
looking for.  Unfortunately, sometimes it requires guessing what the
accidental autocorrect, which can be fairly challenging for those of us who
are not fluent in German.

Once you find it, Google translate does a spectacular job at translating,
since there are a LOT of cognates between German and English, especially
when you get into scientific jargon.

Good luck,
