The following six invited speakers, recognized national authorities in their field, contributed: C. Rrunetti, E.F. Carter, H.A. Stone, Jr., Brig. Gen. E.R. Petzing (ret.), J.R. Moore, and W.Y. Hamilton. Reprints of these talks were published in Part 6 of the 1957 IRE National Convention Record. For the purpose of this "bull session," the following represents quotations from the above talks, which have been freely assembled to emphasize the case in point.
