Abstract :
FOR THE third successive year the attention of chemists meeting in national assembly has been directed toward the problems of electrical insulation. In each instance the discussion of dielectric phenomena has been held under the joint auspices of the American Chemical Society and the subcommittee on chemistry of the committee on insulation of the National Research Council, division of industrial and engineering research. The 1938 conference was held at Milwaukee, Wis., September 8, most important business of which was a symposium under the chairmanship of Doctor F. L. Miller, of the Esso Laboratories, Standard Oil Development Company, Linden, N. J. This report has been made available to readers of Electrical Engineering through the courtesy of Doctor F. M.
