Have you tried Google Books (Full View Option)?
I have found amazing stuff there.
There are many answers concerning (August) Kundt.
I do not have the courage to sift through them.
I thought of him thus far as an acoustician but apparently he worked in
optics as well.

I haven't learned to use Google Books. Also, I have a lot of problems with
my ancient browser. I'll see what I can find out next time I use a more
contemporary computer and browser.

Well learn...

If your PC is deficient go to a library which is equipped with fast
computers.

The downloads from Google Books are always large.

You may find a helpful librarian, there.

This said what Google books offers is extremely uneven.

The scans are sometime poor.

But on the whole your chances of finding interesting stuff are high.

As to B & W, Emil Wolf is still around at the University of Rochester,
most likely emeritus, so maybe you can get in touch with him and ask.

BTW where did you find your copy of Born?
