Abstract :
THE AIEE 1956 Summer and Pacific General Meeting to be held in the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, Calif., June 25–29, will offer a program and activities that will appeal to all interests. A full and interesting technical program is assured. Six inspection trips of both general and technical interest climaxed by a sightseeing boat tour up the bay to the largest fuel-electric power plant west of the Mississippi will complete the program. Sports events will be highlighted by a salmon derby outside the Golden Gate. A diversified entertainment program for the ladies, and special activities for students round out the Convention schedule. In addition to being host to the Convention, San Francisco is world famous as a vacation center. Places of historic interest and restful resort areas abound within easy driving distance. These features, combined with many other outstanding tourist attractions in northern California, offer an unequalled opportunity to combine a business trip to the Convention with a family vacation.
