Abstract :
A program of great interest was presented at a two-day meeting of District No. 3 of the A. I. E. E. at the Engineering Societies Building, 33 West 39th St., New York, November 11–12. The attendance was approximately 700, comparing favorably with some of the national meetings. The technical sessions, which were well attended, included papers under the three general subjects of a-c. distribution networks, illumination, and communication. The technical program was augmented by a very interesting lecture on Thursday evening by Professor Robert W. Wood, of Johns Hopkins University, who spoke on some of the latest accomplishments and discoveries in the field of physical research, and on Friday evening by a demonstration of the Vitaphone, arranged through the courtesy of the New York Electrical Society.
