The book "Introduction to Telephone Switching" by Bruce E. Briley of
Bell Labs, published by Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-11246-9 has
(amongst other things) a very comprehensive overview of the various
generations of switches from Step-by-Step and Panel via Crossbar and
the whole family of ESSs (1-5).

(It also contains an amusing "typo"; the photograph of a Crossbar
Switch Bay on page 45 is flipped 90 degrees so the racks appear
*horizontal*.  Now here in Earthquake land this may not be so
uncommon, but...)
