Berkeley's Computers and Automation was THE WORLD'S FIRST PERIODICAL ON ELECTRONIC COMPUTING AND ALSO THE FIRST COMPUTER JOURNAL ISSUED BY A COMMERCIAL PUBLISHERS. It predated by a year the first issue of the Proceedings of the Association for Computing Machinery..) The first volume of Berkeley's pioneering periodical (not present here and presumably nearly unfindable) consisted of three dittoed numbers issued in September 1951, February 1952, and July 1952 under the title Roster of Organizations in the Field of Automatic Computing, and a final number (vol. 1, no. 4), reproduced from typescript, issued under the new title The Computing Machinery Field. Volume 2, number 1, also bears this title, but volume 2, number 2, was issued under the title Computers and Automation, and the magazine continued to appear as such (with minor variations) until the name was changed to Computers and People in 1974. OOC 469.
