Past section and past branch meetings

The October meeting of the Baltimore Section was held in the Physical Laboratory of the Johns Hopkins University, on Friday evening, October 31. Mr. W. S. Murray, formerly electrical engineer of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, gave an interesting talk on “The Electric Operation of Railway Tunnels and Terminals.” The talk was particularly appreciated at this time in view of the agitation in favor of such electrification in Baltimore. Mr. Murray brought out clearly both the advantages and difficulties of such electrification.
