Abstract :
THE 18TH FORUM of Technical Committee Chairmen held on Wednesday evening during AIEE´s Summer General Meeting, was called to order by Hendley Blackmon, chairman of the Technical Operations Department (TOD). Past-President W. J. Barrett, who had addressed the forum on several previous occasions, gave a cordial welcome, and, after the presentation of two valuable papers on operational procedures, the meeting was turned over to Dixon Lewis, past chairman of the Sections Committee, who introduced a group dynamics discussion. This type of meeting has met with considerable success in a number of the Sections.
