Essay: computers in the APS editorial office: the early years.
APS journals in the late 1960s began to move from hot-metal print shops to tailor-made typewriters, next to special keyboards and a small computer, then to completely photocomposed journal pages. At the same time, internal editorial operations were being converted from paper handling and data records to completely electronic procedures. By 1990, it became feasible for authors to submit manuscripts to the journal electronically.
