Trends and tasks of the conference on electrical insulation

Ideas and organizations wear out if not reappraised at appropriate time intervals and adapted to changing circumstances. For our Conference the situation has changed completely since it was first launched after World War I. Inspired by Professor Whitehead's enthusiasm, a small band of insulation experts first met in an annual Round Table conference. Anyone contributing a paper was a member for that year, and nobody paid dues, since Dr. Davidson generously dedicated energy and office help to keep the written record straight.
