Abstract :
Tentative broad outlines of the way in which the consolidation of AIEE and IRE might be put into operation were discussed at a Town Meeting during the AIEE Winter General Meeting on January 31. P. E. Haggerty. IRE President, and W. H. Chase, AIEE President, participated in the discussion as did AIEE and IRE members serving on subcommittees that have been studying various aspects of the merger. Although not officially approved by either Board, the following picture of the proposed principles of consolidation emerged from the discussion.
