Exactly how, when, or why [[Harry Nyquist]] had his name attached to the sampling theorem remains obscure. The term ''Nyquist Sampling Theorem'' (capitalized thus) appeared as early as 1959 in a book from his former employer, [[Bell Labs]],<ref>{{cite book | title = Transmission Systems for Communications | author = Members of the Technical Staff of Bell Telephone Lababoratories | year = 1959 | publisher = AT&T | pages = 26–4 |volume=2}}</ref>{{verification needed|reason=The page range "26–4" seems to mean "26–24" which makes no sense.

In 1958, [[R. B. Blackman|Blackman]] and [[J. W. Tukey|Tukey]] cited Nyquist's 1928 article as a reference for ''the sampling theorem of information theory'',<ref>{{cite book |first1=R.

Their glossary of terms includes these entries:
