Conferences at Summer convention relate to war conditions

Six conferences, on widely varying subjects but all connected in some way with the war effort, were included in the program of the AIEE summer convention, held at Chicago, Ill., June 22–26, 1942. The conference on lighting aids to wartime production is reported elsewhere in these pages. The other conferences dealt with local engineering councils, particularly in relation to war activities and postwar planning; with educational matters under war conditions; with power supply for the war program; with electronic control of resistance welding, and with measurements of surface finish, both the latter being related to processes significant in war production. Brief reports high lighting the proceedings of these four conferences follow.
