Meeting in New York, April 14, 1916

The 320th meeting of the A. I. E. E. was held on the fifth floor of the Engineering Societies Building, New York, Friday, April 14, 1916. The meeting was called to order at 8:20 p.m. by President Carty, who stated that owing to the unavoidable absence of Mr. Clarence Renshaw, who was in the South, his paper on “High-Voltage D-C. Railway Practise” would be read by Mr. N. W. Storer. The paper was then presented by Mr. Storer, who also showed a number of lantern slides illustrating the 5000-volt direct-current equipment described in Mr. Renshaw´s paper. The paper called forth considerable discussion, which was participated in by Messrs. F. J. Sprague, W. J. Davis, Jr., W. B. Potter, Calvert Townley, S. I. Oesterreicher, B. F. Wood, E. V. Pannell, A. H. Armstrong, N. W. Storer, Carl Schwartz, and Selby Haar.
