Industrial applications and power system problems discussed at Buffalo — students also hold busy session

A DISTINCTLY industrial flavor was one of the more attractive features of the AIEE North Eastern District meeting held May 5–7 at Buffalo, N. Y. Supplementing and giving point to 2 special informal papers that were devoted to a discussion and explanation of current trends in the design and application of the electrical equipment that is playing so vital a part in modern steelmill electrification, was a correlated inspection trip through the new 72-inch continuous hot- and cold-strip mill of the Bethlehem Steel Company at nearby Lackawanna.
