Abstract :
To the Board of Directors: This committee has not been active for some years, due principally to the facts that the subjects falling properly within its scope are more advantageously treated on the chemical and metallurgical sides than on the electrical, and have, therefore, been much more actively dealt with by some of the other engineering societies, notably the American Electrochemical Society and the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. At the outset this situation was discussed with the various members of the committee, of whom five showed an active interest in the work.
