Abstract :
Evolution of this conference and exhibit was directed by the former Aerospace Transportation Committee of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers at a meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the week of June 26, 1961. Immedieately thereafter, the Washington Section of AIEE was asked to co-sponsor the meeting in conjunction with the Aerospace Support Systems Committee of AIEE, the resultant being the formation of a conference committee as delineated on the letterhead. Due to the quantity of subject matter relative to aerospace support that would be applicable to this conference, and the interrelated fields of technical skills associated with this area, participation by other technical societies was invited.
