Abstract :
When plans were being made for the 1949 winter general meeting in New York, N. Y., announcements went forth that the technical committees were making a special effort to assemble a technical program which would cover the electrical field completely. The results of these efforts were demonstrated graphically at the Hotel Statler during the week of January 31-February 4, when this year´s meeting program, featuring a total of 55 technical sessions and conferences covering some 226 papers, officially went on record as the largest technical program in the history of the Institute. The program was organized under four general topics: communication and science, power, industry, and general applications.
