P.W. Bridgman's first name is Percy, isn't it?

See, for example

THE NATURE OF PHYSICAL REALITY, 1936, Princeton (reprint: Dover)

I also own a Routledge Paperback that cost 7s 8d, which is called on the
cover
A GUIDE TO RELATIVITY,

but inside it is called

A SOPHISTICATE'S PRIMER OF RELATIVITY, copyright 1963, Wesleyan
Univ, Routledge, 1963

Best wishes,
