Abstract :
Preparations are now well advanced for the meeting of the International Electrotechnical Commission to be held in New York in April. This Commission, which is an international standardizing body in the electrical industry, was organized in 1906 following suggestions made at the Electrical Congress held in St. Louis in 1904. Despite its many years of activity it has never held a meeting in this country, the reason for this being the intervention of the war. The meeting in New York will be the first one which has been held with full representation of all the countries which were active in the Commission prior to the war.
