Pacific Coast convention, San Francisco May 5, 6 and 7, 1910

The Pacific Coast Convention, organized by the High-Tension Transmission Committee, was the first regular Institute meeting held west of the Rocky Mountains, and marks another advance step in carrying out a policy which will emphasize the national character of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. The registered attendance was 150 of which 19 were from distant points, there being seven from the Atlantic States. The local attendance was 131, mostly Members and Associates but including many engineers of other branches.
