Abstract :
OF THE 4 regular sessions of the Middle Eastern District meeting held Oct. 10–13, 1932, at the Lord Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore, Md., one was given over to 4 papers dealing with power cables, one to 3 papers concerned with communication cables, and 2 to the presentation of 6 papers devoted to hydroelectric subjects including delivery and distribution of power so generated. Meeting jointly with the Institute for the first 2 (cable) sessions, was the National Research Council´s committee on electrical insulation which functions under the leadership of Dr. J. B. Whitehead. This latter committee subsequently held 3 independent sessions in Maryland Hall on the Johns Hopkins campus, but otherwise participated in the general activities of the meeting. The Institute´s board of directors also met in conjunction with the meeting, as reported elsewhere in this issue.
