Public engineering meeting in New York, October 17, 1910

A public engineering meeting will be held in the Engineers´ Building, 33 West 39th Street, New York City, on Monday evening, October 17, 1910, at 8:00 p.m. Engineers who are members of other societies are invited to attend and participate in the discussion. The subject to be discussed is the “Rapid Transit Requirements of Greater New York” and will be presented in an informal paper by Mr. Frank J. Sprague, past-president, and chairman of the railway committee of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. A brief statement will be given of the general facts pertaining to routes, and construction and equipment of the existing and proposed subways, illustrated by lantern slides. As the meeting is to be an informal one, intended to afford opportunity for the expression of engineering views upon a subject of great importance, the proceedings will not necessarily form any part of the published records of the Institute, but the discussions, with the assent of the speakers, may be published in a separate pamphlet.
