Call by name does use procedure parameters.
The text has "ingenious exploitation of the name parameters to compute numerical series without using procedure parameters – as is necessary in all programming languages, except ALGOL 60, and Simula-67." But in all fairness name parameters do use procedure parameters: they are supplied by the compiler, by the implementation; they are just not directly visible to the programmer. Actually a name parameter is implemented by two procedures, one that yields the value and one that does an assignment. And if the name parameter is passed on in another call, both procedures have to be passed on.

I don't know if it is important enough to modify the text, but it would help explaining the concept.
