It has been the only magazine on Electronics in Spanish language with peer to peer approbation, what gives it a scientific and historical value.

The peer to peer system was adapted to the university environment of Latin America, replacing the classical diagram of two anonymous reviewers by a system based in a Publishing Committee that covers a big variety electronics knowledge. The names of them are public and they was university professors of renown and without any type of commercial interest neither relation with companies. The committee could decide if an article is  published without corrections or the corrections that recommended in a personal interview with the Director of the Academic Committee. The result was to have articles of very high level and at the same time give fit to novel authors indicating them the necessary corrections for the acceptance of the articles.

By the Academic Committee paraded the most brilliant engineers of Argentina, those who occasionally also wrote for the Magazine.

The commercial announcements trace the historical profile of Argentina particularly from 1950 that registers the greater industrial activity in the Electronics.

History

Revista Telegráfica was founded in 1912 by Domingo Arbó the one who said in the number 1 that:

Can not ask the progress of a village where the electricity is ignored, where the Telegraph and the Telephone ignore . Our country with the vision of the near future has spread them until in the small populations and day in day out the verb of the “electrical word” advances conquering the desert. … In our columns there will be place to honour to the meritorios, as also to combat the indolencia​

The foundational work of Domingo Arbó is gone on down Orestes Arbó, and finalised by Ariel Arbó.

First copy in 1912

Usually this magazine has  published between 11 and 12 annual copies. But the economic problems do that from 1991 his quantity reduce gradually and does that it abandon the habit to date the copies by month-year. In this period a lot of copies only carry the number of volume. The cycle of Telegraphic Magazine Electronics of Arbó Editors closes with the number 942 September 1993. In this copy announces the demise of Clotilde Hermida of Arbó, mother of Ariel Arbó that continued the familiar tradition of his husband Cesar Arbó of early disappearance. To his demise, Clotilde did charge to edit the magazine. It was a person of a cordialidad extraordinary and that treated to the authors with an extreme warmth. His presence, always very active, helped to the remarkable growth of Revista Telegráfica during the decade of 1980. Afterwards of his demise, commissions his son Ariel Arbó to continue the publication until the closing of the magazine by economic problems in the back era to internet in that they closed numerous world-wide publications. Ariel alters slightly the name that becomes from December of 1993 New Telegraphic Electronics with format quite similar but with #fewer annual copies to adapt to the declining market in which other Argentinian magazines also competed.

In this new stage the publisher name was  Ariel Arbó Editor. The ancient numbering dragged from 1912 interrupts from the # 942 (maybe like a homage) and begins again from the number 1 editing 48 copies until his closing in 2001.

The Publisher Arbó has kept along the years, in parallel with his magazine, an intense work of translation of books of international text that have arrived to the Spanish language in taken care editions. They are remarkable examples the book of Electronic Measurements of Terman-Petit and the Spanish version of Electronic Engineering of Terman.​​ Also it published thematic selections from articles of his magazine eat: Professional Audio-I and II of Bonello.​

How access to the collection

Although the disappearance of the Publisher Arbó prevented the existence of a web page in where could consult exemplary of the Magazine, however his international diffusion attained that they exist loose copies in numerous university libraries and private collections.

Fortunately the complete collection of copies from 1956 until his disappearance in 2021 could preserve by donations of collectors in the Library of the Argentinian Centre of Engineers in Buenos Aires.​
