  • Abstract
    The author looks at the history of automatic control in four main periods as follows: early control up to 1900; the pre-classical period 1900-1940; the classical period 1935-1960; and modem control post 1955. This article is concerned with the first three of the above; other articles in this issue deal with the more recent period
