Abstract :
The Proceedings of the IEEE, it should be remembered, is the offspring (some would say continuation) of the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers, a journal which, during the history of IRE, served as its core publication. Today, Proceedings retains many of the traditional characteristics of Proceedings of the IRE, yet differs in important ways. In particular, it is available to members by subscription (some 30 000 at present subscribe, and its readers represent all the Groups and Societies of IEEE, including those, like the Power Engineering Society, that were not constituents of IRE). During 1973, Proceedings published more than 1800 editorial pages, encompassing 144 papers and 225 technical letters.
