Institute publications

A Very important duty which every member of the Institute can undertake, is to correct the erroneous impression that the technical press publishes everything of value that is printed in the Proceedings. While the Institute places no restriction upon reprinting its papers and discussions, the amount of important matter published is so great that our exchanges cannot undertake to print it in full. Non-members not familiar with the work of the Institute do not always realize what they miss, and frequently apply for copies of papers which are out of print. Notable instances of this nature are the papers by H. A. Foster on the “Cost of Steam Power”, by Dr. M. I. Pupin, on “Wave Transmission over Non-uniform Cable and Long-distance Air-lines” and C. O. Mailloux on “Speed Time Curves.” As all important papers and discussions printed in Section II of the Proceedings are subsequently included in the Transactions, membership in the Institute has a permanent value to the electrical engineer which can only be appreciated by actual participation in its work.
