European lighting progress discussed at Rome

The first meeting of the International Union of Producers and Distributors of Electrical Energy was held September 21–26, 1926, in Rome. This Union was organized last year by three professional societies interested in the central station industry, representing France, Italy and Belgium. The program for its first meeting included principally papers on central station operation but one group dealt with the subject of illumination and another with the development of applications other than lighting.
