Abstract :
The annual dinner of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers will be given in the ballroom of the Waldorfastoria, New York City, on February 8, 1905, and promises to be a most interesting occasion. In view of the recent opening of the Subway, thus adding underground traction in America to the domain of electricity; the adoption of electric locomotives for their great Manhattan terminal divisions by the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroads; the equipment of the Long Island Railroad with electricity, and other signal events, the Committee has decided to devote this dinner to emphasizing the triumph of electric traction.
