There is a paper called "One-level Storage System" by those authors
reprinted in "Computer Structures: Readings and Examples" by
Bell and Newell.  The current edition of that book is by Siweiorek,
Bell, and Newell, and has a slightly different title -- something
like "Computer Structures: Foobars, Readings, and Examples".
The paper should be reprinted in that edition, too.  It is certainly
important enough.  The whole book is architecture case-studies;
pretty much a must-have for architecture crazies.

Anyway, "CS: R&E" claims that the paper was originally published
in IRE Transactions, EC-11, vol. 2, pp. 223-235, April, 1962.

The Atlas system was wonderfully advanced.  It invented virtual memory
(one-level store) and supervisor calls (extracodes), and used interleaved
memory and a pipelined CPU for speed.  All that in 1962.  Maybe I'll
go re-read the paper right now.
