Abstract :
Minneapolis, Minn., site of the 1952 AIEE Summer General Meeting, June 23–27, is considered the industrial and mercantile gateway to the Upper Midwest. With its twin city, St. Paul, it forms a metropolitan community of 900,000 persons that manufactures, stores, and distributes much of the goods for the extensive agricultural area lying to the north and west, and receives and processes the cereal products for that area.
