These are some of the better articles I know of: Number 5ESS System is well written up in: AT&T Technical Journal Vol 64 Jul-Aug 1985, No 6, Part 2 about 250 pages all about the 5ESS system. Older AT&T Tech Journals (and Bell System Tech Journal, and Bell Labs Tech Journal, the name keeps changing :-) ) had similar material on the 1ESS, the 4ESS. I think the No 1 ESS was written up in BSTJ 43, No 5 (Sep 1964) I highly recommend the 1ESS issue. The processor used is very strange and entertaining! No 10A Remote Switching System (very interesting) BSTJ 61, No 4 (April 82) No 4 ESS BSTJ 56 NO 7 (Sep 1977) also (BSTJ 60, No 6 (Jul-Aug 1981) All of these should be available in larger city libraries and certainly any university library. They are in at least three different ones in Seattle, so you should be able to locate them. These will give you a good starting point, just follow the references.
