Abstract :
OWING to the deep significance and historic value of the joint session with the British Institution of Electrical Engineers held during the midwinter convention through the medium of transatlantic telephony, the proceedings of this meeting are published herewith in full. Preliminary to the joint session, a paper was presented by Mr. O. B. Blackwell discussing the technical problems involved in transatlantic telephony. Following Mr. Blackwell´s remarks, Mr. K. W. Waterson outlined the operating problem of this service. Both of these papers will appear in a future issue of the JOURNAL. At the close of Mr. Waterson´s address, President Gherardi called upon Mr. Charlesworth to say a few words in regard to the meeting in London and to arrange for the joint session.
