Abstract :
Adelantos de Ingenieria, a new engineering quarterly which reprints selected articles from various engineering journals, was sent recently to the engineering societies and associations throughout Latin America. This quarterly publication of a selected list of recent articles from North American engineering journals is planned to serve the engineers in the other American republics by making available current articles which are believed to be of greatest interest to them. It is a co-operative project of the National Research Council, through its division of engineering and industrial research, and represented by its chairman, Dean F. M. Feiker of George Washington University, Washington, D. C.; the Inter-American Development Commission, represented by M. D. Carrel, projects director; and the Engineers Joint Council through its committee on international relations and more particularly its commission on Latin America, represented by its chairman, Dean S. S. Steinberg of the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
