Second annual welding conference

More than 200 industrial men attended the second annual conference on welding held December 15–16–17, 1926 at LaFayette, Ind., under the auspices of the Engineering Extension Department of Purdue University. There were given several very interesting demonstrations in electric, thermit and oxyacetylene welding and lectures by welding experts from all over the United States. Professor W. A. Knapp of Purdue University presided and introduced the speakers who were men of prominence in their profession. The attendance and interest shown in this second welding conference was most gratifying to the committee in charge.
