Item description from seller

(New York), American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1950. 8vo. In the original printed blue wrappers. In Volume XXIX, July, No. 3, 1950 of "The Bell System Technical Journal". A bit of minor marginal browning to extremities, otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 343-359. [Entire issue: Pp. 295-468].

This means that completion of a new call or termination of an old call will not disturb the state of memory elements associated with any call in progress. [.] Shannon's separate memory condition is actually met by modern connecting networks [.]. (Benes, Vaclav Edward. Mathematical Theory of Connecting Networks and Telephone Traffic: 017, 1965, p. 119.) Claude Shannon is widely regarded as being the father of information theory and cryptography. Origins of Cyberspace 883.The present issue also includes:1. Southworth, George C.
