Abstract :
LOOKING BACK at the recent annual meeting of the committee held in Baltimore, it is possible to segregate the material presented in the various progress reports of research into a few groups which indicate the directions in which recent research effort has been directed. As has been usual in past years, the points of departure in nearly all cases have been the problems of practice. Even in those instances in which the work has been done by physicists and chemists, and so is of more fundamental character, there is distinct evidence of effort to link the work with some of the more common manifestations of dielectric behavior as found in practice.
