Citation award highlights conference on machine tools

The AIEE conference on Machine Tools was held in Cincinnati, Ohio, October 22–24, 1956. “This Eighth Annual Conference was most successful,” reports Chairman R. E. Stroppel, plant engineer, Tool Steel Gear & Pinion Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. The attendance was 692. Although this was almost identical to the 1954 attendance of 691 in Detroit, Mich., it was, in reality, a significant increase since the local registration from Cincinnati totalled only 100 while the Detroit local registration totalled 200.
