Panel discussion on "How can the G-AP be more useful to its members?"

The major function of G-AP the is to provide a forum for the dissemination of technical information that is principally scientific and educational. In order for published material to be of significant engineering value, theory should be supported by experiment, or at least a graphical presentation, disadvantages as well as advantages should be discussed and mathematical treatments should be supported by example. Those papers which provide these desirable ingredients should be given first priority and should constitute the bulk of the information reported. Finally, it is argued that to serve their needs and to recognize their practical accomplishments, the G-AP should realign its course and serve firstly the engineering community and secondly the academic community.
