Abstract :
Presenting a total of 32 technical sessions and conferences, including one general session, the AIEE Fall General Meeting was held in Cincinnati, Ohio, October 17–21, 1949. Headquarters were in the Netherland Plaza Hotel. Several of the meeting´s technical sessions marked innovations in the presentation of technical matter before the Institute, such as the sessions on mining and metal industry, aluminum, and cable accessories. Other sessions on rotating machinery, industrial control, and the conferences on machine tools were particularly fitting for presentation in Cincinnati, which is known as the center of the machine-tool industry. Inspection trips to nearby industries, a stag smoker, dinner-dance, and a special program for the ladies completed a profitable and enjoyable week. The total registered attendance of members, guests, and students was 1,045.
