Abstract :
Electrical engineering problems in the textile industry was the subject of two AIEE technical conferences held last May. The first took place in Boston, Mass., at the Hotel Kenmore, May 3,1949, and the second in Atlanta, Ga., at the Young Men´s Christian Association auditorium of the Georgia Institute of Technology, May 27–28, 1949. These gatherings represented two more conferences in the series of ten held since the special AIEE conference type of meeting was started in 1948 (EE, Feb ´48, p 189). This type of meeting is designed to explore thoroughly a limited field and to afford specialists in that field an opportunity to discuss mutual technical problems.
