Abstract :
This terminates the second year of the existence of this committee. The field of action in which this relatively new committee finds itself is so broad and has so many inviting byways that it has been difficult to outline the work. The engineering in connection with the application of automatic control is so fascinating as to result in so many new ideas being steadily developed that the fundamentals are sometimes almost overlooked. It is indeed amazing to realize the changes in ideas which occur in this branch of the industry in a single year. This committee attempts in the following report to outline some of the development and offer suggestions which are intended to benefit this branch of the industry.
