Institute activities: Welding technique demonstrations will highlight conference in Detroit

Practical demonstrations of electric welding techniques and equipment will supplement the 3-day AIEE Conference on Electric Welding scheduled for April 5–7 at the Rackham Memorial Building in Detroit, Mich. During morning and afternoon technical sessions, papers on arc and resistance welding will be presented, while meetings on two evenings will be devoted to demonstrations by authors and others. This will be the second welding conference to be sponsored by AIEE in co-operation with the American Welding Society and the Industrial Electrical Engineers Society in Detroit. Demonstrations are sponsored by the Detroit Section of the American Welding Society. More than 400 persons attended the first such conference held in December 1948. Papers and discussions were published in consolidated pamphlet form and are still available at $3.50 each from R. S. Gardner, AIEE Headquarters, 33 West 39th Street, New York 18, N. Y. A similar publication for the second conference may be ordered in advance at the same price.
