Abstract :
The winter meeting to be held in New York, N. Y., January 27–31, 1947, will feature a broad program of professional and social activities. The technical program, the largest in the history of the Institute, is a manifestation of the effort of the AIEE to cover the technical field completely. This is evidenced further by the holding of a special conference on the technical activities. The program is comprised of 26 technical sessions, presenting about 100 papers, and 16 technical conferences. As an innovation, the Edison, John Fritz, and Hoover Medals will be presented in general sessions in the afternoons, co-ordinated with technical sessions appropriate to the fields of achievements of the medalists. A group of inspection trips also has been arranged closely allied with the subject matter of several sessions. On the social side there will be a smoker, theater tickets for out-of-town members, and special entertainment for the women. Meeting headquarters will be in the Engineering Societies´ Building.
