The Bell System
Technical Journal was published by AT&T in New York
City through its Information Department, in behalf
of
Western Electric
Company and
the Associated Companies of the Bell System. The
first issue was released in July 1922, under the
editorship of R.W. King and an eight-member
editorial board. From 1922 to 1951, the publication
schedule was quarterly. It was bimonthly until 1964,
and finally produced ten monthly issues per year
until the end of 1983, combining the four summer
months into two issues in May and July.
Publication of the journal under the name Bell
System Technical Journal ended with Volume 62 by
the end of 1983, because of the divestiture of AT&T.
Under new organization, publication continued as
AT&T Bell Laboratories Technical Journal in 1984
with Volume 63, maintaining the volume sequence
numbers established since 1922. In 1985, Bell
Laboratories was removed from the title to
AT&T Technical Journal until 1995 (Volume 74).
