Abstract :
THE principal activity of the Committee during the past year has been in arranging and carrying out of plans for the Industrial Session held at the Winter Convention. As this Committee is interested in the application of electricity to all industries which are not specifically covered by other committees of the Institute, it was agreed that papers to be of interest to the greatest number of engineers should be of a general nature and not confined to a specific industry or application. The papers presented were consequently arranged and prepared with this thought in mind. During this period of industrial depression an increasing amount of attention is being given to the subject of reducing manufacturing costs and it was hoped that industrial engineers would find in these papers various ideas which could be applied to their own problems.
